I help Financial and Global Enterprise teams design, migrate, implement, deploy and modernize data center networks — spine-leaf fabrics built around your workloads, connected end to end across data center, WAN and cloud, without risky downtime. I take responsibility for that connectivity from design through deployment, and hand over every project with RCA, documentation and SOPs.
Non-blocking Clos fabric · Every leaf to every spine · Lossless RoCEv2 for AI / storage traffic
Data center and enterprise network consulting — focused engagements, not general IT support. Every engagement is scoped around uptime, security, and a clear design or migration outcome.
Spine-leaf design and refresh planning for Cisco and Arista estates — capacity, redundancy, and growth built in from the start, including lossless RoCEv2 fabrics for AI / GPU and storage traffic. Delivered with high-level (HLD) and low-level (LLD) design documentation.
Phased migrations with rollback planning, validation, and cutover support — so modernization doesn’t become an outage.
Enterprise switching and routing — design, optimization, and troubleshooting across BGP / MP-BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP — with the fabric technologies that run on it: VXLAN EVPN and Cisco ACI. FabricPath estates covered for legacy migration planning.
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN design and deployment for multi-site enterprises — resilient transport, secure WAN connectivity, and consistent policy across branches, data centers, and cloud on-ramps.
Secure, resilient connectivity between data centers and cloud — routing, segmentation, and performance for hybrid workloads, including RDMA / RoCEv2 where it matters.
802.1X and ISE design, AAA hardening, and firewall integration across Palo Alto, Check Point, ASA / Firepower, Zscaler, and F5 environments.
Pick the closest description — I’ll point you to the right engagement. No obligation, just a clearer starting point.
Start with an assessment of your current fabric, risks, and refresh options — then a phased design you can actually deliver against, whether you stay with Cisco or move to Arista.
Discuss this engagementOver 18 years of experience is only useful if it’s the right experience. This is the stack I work in every week.
Experience across financial services and global enterprise environments where downtime and audit risk are not theoretical.
A short, direct conversation about your estate, timelines, and what success looks like. No sales script.
Current-state review — topology, configs, risks, and constraints — with findings in plain language.
Phased design, migration plan, and hands-on implementation support with validation at each step.
Documentation your team can run from, plus optional advisory cover after go-live.
Consulting engagements, scoped to outcomes — not hourly ticket work. Every engagement is confirmed in a written scope after a discovery call.
Fees depend on estate size, sites, and timeline — confirmed in a written scope before any work starts.
Senior Network Engineer with over 18 years of experience specializing in data center fabric and network architecture for Financial and Global Enterprise environments.
I help Financial and Global Enterprise teams design, migrate, implement, deploy and modernize data center networks — spine-leaf fabrics built around your workloads, connected end to end across data center, WAN and cloud, without risky downtime. I take responsibility for that connectivity from design through deployment, and hand over every project with RCA, documentation and SOPs.
My work centers on the networks everything else depends on: Cisco Nexus and Arista spine-leaf fabrics, VXLAN EVPN, BGP-led design, Cisco ACI, Catalyst SD-WAN, hybrid cloud connectivity to Azure and AWS, and Cisco ISE / AAA for secure access — managed and validated with Cisco NDFC (Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller) and Arista CloudVision (CVP).
I’m brought in when a refresh, migration, or persistent fabric problem needs senior judgment — someone who has done the cutovers, carries the risk properly, and leaves your team with a network they can actually operate.
Available for consulting engagements — assessments, design and migration projects, and advisory retainers. I can also work inside your own project — your team procures the hardware, I design and implement. Remote delivery with on-site support arranged where a project needs it.
Tell me a little about your estate and what you’re trying to change. Use the form to draft your inquiry — you can copy it and send it through your preferred channel.
