Instructor's Courses

I am a Network Engineer with more than 14 years of experience in the industry. I am always enthusiastic about learning new network technologies. I've got enormous opportunities to design multiple Network Automation and Orchestration tools and, worked on design and implementation of R&S, Wireless, and Security devices in many large-scale infrastructures.In addition to Network Engineering, I am having expertise in Public key cryptographies, Encryption Algorithms, SSL Certificates, and their related protocols. I am from Electronics and Communication Background and fell in love with coding after learning Python.I even have a YouTube Channel called NetworkEvolution to share my knowledge and help all the Network Engineers to start their Automation Journey.I hold certifications from Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper, HP, PaloAlto, and MicrosoftSome of them are below3x CCNA (R&S(2007), Wireless(2011), Security(2012))3x CCNP (R&S(2009), Wireless(2012), Security(2014))FCNSA(Fortinet Certified Network Security Associate)FCNSP(Fortinet Certified Network Security Professional)JNCIA(Juniper Network Certified Associate)JNCIS (Juniper Network Certified Specialist) –EnterpriseJNCIS (Juniper Network Certified Specialist) –SecurityPalo Alto ACE (Accredited Configuration Engineer)HP ATP (Accredited Technical Professional)MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional)Securing Cisco Network with SourceFire IPS (500-285)Securing Cisco Network with SourceFire Advanced MalwareProtection (500-275)
