About

I'm a network engineer based in Tenkasi, India, with hands-on training across routing & switching, Windows Server administration, and network security — completed through structured professional certification at SYSTECH, Chennai (CCNA, CCNP, Hardware & Networking, Ethical Hacking).

Alongside core networking, I bring real field experience as a fiber optics technician and telecom field engineer, giving me practical exposure to the physical layer most network engineers only see in diagrams — cabling, splicing, signal troubleshooting, and last-mile connectivity.

I'm currently looking to move into a Desktop Support, Network Engineer, Network Administrator, or System Administrator role where I can apply both my structured networking knowledge and my field troubleshooting instincts.
