About:

Working with IT Infrastructure Operations for 13+ years, I’ve been gathering proficiency in managing some of its main components, such as Firewalls, NGFW, IDS/IPS, WAF, VPN, Proxies and Linux-based servers as well as in high complexity issues analysis. During this process, I’ve always been involved in:

• Deploying, configuring, maintaining and troubleshooting:
  • Fortigate, Check Point, Cisco ASA, Palo Alto and Linux Firewalls Policies/Rules.
  • WAF and IPS systems on Fortigate NGFW.
  • VPN Site-to-Site and Client-to-Site with high complexity demands or issues.
  • Unix/Linux OS and its servers in general.
  • Shell scripting.
  • Load Balancing and High Availability implementations for Services and Network.
• Review and refine policies/rules.
• Incident quick response, mitigation and root cause analysis for critical systems.
• Writing documentation for processes and infrastructures.
• Managed Services operations.
• Working on large datacenters.

I’ve also developed some good experience with Juniper and Cisco switching and routing appliances as well as RIP, OSPF and BGP dynamic routing protocols applied to all previously mentioned technologies.

I am always in a constant personal and professional development process. Currently, I’m studying for CCNA and Fortinet NSE4 certifications.

And I’m also a KISS principle enthusiast. ;)
