About

I am an network engineer focused on enterprise networking fundamentals, with hands-on experience in routing, switching, and network troubleshooting. My approach is practical and lab-driven, centered on understanding real-world traffic flow, failure scenarios, and systematic issue resolution. I design and simulate enterprise-style networks using GNS3 and Cisco Packet Tracer, implementing static and dynamic routing (OSPF), VLAN segmentation, Spanning Tree Protocol, and DHCP-based address management. I regularly perform packet-level analysis using Wireshark to study ICMP, ARP, and DHCP behavior and to diagnose connectivity issues caused by misconfigurations.I also have foundational experience with Linux, Cisco IOS, and basic network security concepts such as ACLs, firewall fundamentals, and traffic monitoring. Alongside networking, I have participated in a cybercrime investigation internship under a social impact program, supporting case analysis and awareness initiatives while adhering to ethical standards. I have also presented academic research in international conferences on topics including deepfake detection and fake news detection using machine learning and NLP. I am actively seeking entry-level roles in networking, NOC, or IT infrastructure teams where I can apply my skills, gain production exposure, and grow into a security-focused networking professional over time.
