What I Actually Do

"They say the internet is a cloud. I say it's cables, copper, laser and sweat."

I design the invisible.

I build systems that no one sees – but everyone depends on.

I design networks: from the first patch panel to the final route through firewalls, switches, fibers, and airwaves. I create the infrastructure that keeps people connected, businesses running, and data flowing.

I'm not just configuring routers.

I'm designing logic, predicting failure, and thinking in latency.

I map out data flows like others design highways – with rules, with flow, with fallback. My job begins before the cable is laid – and doesn't end until the last packet arrives clean and on time.

I speak protocol like others speak language.

• BGP, OSPF, VXLAN, GRE – I don’t just know them, I use them like tools in a mechanic’s hand.
• I see networks like engineers see bridges – as something that must carry weight, stress, and time.

I tame chaos.

When systems fail, I dig. Logs, interfaces, ARP tables, kernel messages – that's my battlefield.

I don’t panic. I debug. I troubleshoot. I restore.

I don’t just react – I anticipate.

I secure.

I don’t trust default settings.

I build firewalls that filter noise from necessity. I believe in least privilege, zero trust, and encrypted everything.

Wireshark is my microscope. A false positive is not good enough. I want proof – not assumptions.

I mentor and multiply.

I pass on what I know – because good networks don’t scale unless people do.

I’ve trained colleagues, juniors, teams. I document like I’d want to read it during a 3am incident.

Because one day, someone else will be standing where I stand – and they’ll be better for it.

I never stopped learning.

Technology moves fast – but so do I.

• I renew my Juniper certs regularly.
• I chase CWNP tracks because wireless is the last real frontier.
• I don’t chase titles. I chase understanding.

What I actually do?

I design clarity in a world of complexity.
I connect people, systems, and ideas.
I make things work – quietly, reliably, securely.

I'm not just a network engineer.

I'm a network architect,
a problem solver,
a digital craftsman,
and sometimes,
just a guy in a dark room with too many screens…
keeping the lights on.
