Professional Summary

I don’t wait for the threat landscape to change — I build infrastructure that’s already ready for it.

Senior Network Security Engineer with over 15 years of experience designing, securing, and automating enterprise-scale network infrastructure. Deep specialization in Palo Alto Panorama-managed HA environments across PA-7080, PA-5400, PA-3000, and PA-1400 series platforms, Check Point Multi-Domain Management Systems with thousands of HA-configured firewalls, and Cisco Catalyst, Nexus, Meraki, and Aruba ecosystems, with a proven track record of improving incident response times, leading global firewall operations, and building automation that eliminated 40% of manual effort across security teams.

At TikTok, led network security operations within the USDS enclave, directing a global Panorama environment alongside Cisco Meraki and Nexus switching infrastructure while aligning to NIST, CISA, and ISO 27001 frameworks. Provisioned and managed Palo Alto firewall and Panorama instances in Microsoft Azure using Terraform, deployed and managed ByteWAF using Istio service mesh, and built a custom Ansible Tower platform that cut manual provisioning by 40%. Served as the Tier 3 escalation lead for the most complex cross-domain production issues spanning routing, switching, wireless, firewall policy, and VPN. Managed Cisco ISE policies for 802.1X network access control and maintained network inventories in NetBox.

Before TikTok, spent over a decade at TE Connectivity progressing through three title promotions, from IT Operations Analyst to Information Security Engineer to Network Security Engineer III. Managed a Check Point MDMS environment with thousands of HA-configured firewalls, led network security integrations for mergers and acquisitions across a global portfolio, and built the Python automation that modernized how the team operated at scale. Leveraged the Check Point Management API to build custom policy validation tooling, administered Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) and Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) for zero-trust connectivity, and coordinated with OT security teams at manufacturing facilities.

Most recently, completed a contract as a Network Engineer through Insight Global, operating within a Palo Alto Panorama-managed HA environment with PA-7080 and PA-5400 series firewalls in a healthcare setting with strict HIPAA compliance requirements. Developed the CNTRL Platform, a unified network management application integrating APIs across Palo Alto Panorama, Cisco ISE, Cisco Catalyst Center, and Juniper Mist into a single control plane with over 70 automated features.

Additionally designed and built over a dozen enterprise-grade desktop applications independently in Rust and SvelteKit during a year of focused product development, delivering production-grade platforms for firewall operations, network diagnostics, wireless auditing, endpoint telemetry, and infrastructure automation. Equally capable as a software engineer, writing production code in Python, Rust, Go, and TypeScript. Every system I’ve built and every architecture I’ve designed has been driven by a single question: how would someone break this? That offensive mindset, combined with deep defensive experience and real programming ability, is what I bring to the table.
