Network Engineer @ C-DAC | 300-Node Infra | VLANs, OSPF, BGP, NAT, ACLs | Firewall & VPN | Network Security & VAPT | CCNA in Progress | Bangalore

About

Every morning, 300+ students walk into C-DAC Bangalore expecting the network to just work. That responsibility sits with me. I manage the entire infrastructure — VLAN segmentation, DNS/DHCP, firewall policies, and maintaining clear separation between student and staff networks. The kind of work that goes unnoticed when everything is running smoothly. Which is exactly the goal. Alongside operations, I work on the security side: • VAPT on IoT environments • A live 3-tier Certificate Authority hierarchy for a drone-based IoT project • Firewall ruleset validation during audits • Real incident response scenarios I also teach — 120+ students across 4 batches in Networking and System Administration, along with cybersecurity awareness sessions across India under the Government of India's ISEA initiative. Teaching forces clarity, and that clarity shows when things break at 9 AM and 300 users are waiting. Currently pursuing CCNA and CCNP to formalize and deepen my practical experience. Open to opportunities in Network Engineering, System Administration, and Network Security across Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi/NCR, Hyderabad, Pune, and Remote. If you're hiring — or just want to talk VLANs, PKI, or IoT security — let's connect.
