## About

I am an experienced IP architect with years of practice in networking applied to enterprise\. I've been part of IP network design teams delivering projects both in UAE and India\. Being part of experienced IP design teams has provided great exposure and knowledge of technologies in domains from back\-haul transport to IP networks passing through data centre\. I had the opportunity to work in multi\-vendor environments accumulating experience with networking elements from Cisco, Juniper, F5, Alcatel Lucent \(Now Nokia\) to mention just a few\. During all these years I've gained not only a deep knowledge in several technologies including LTE, OSPF and BGP, but also a well structured understanding on the market and services around the technology sphere\. More recently, and since 2019 I’ve been adopting a more network developer focus applying Python
