I keep networks running, and build for the datacenter, your wrist, your Mac, the campus, the road, the web.
CCNA-certified, on the Helpdesk & NOC team at Prysmian, preparing for CCNP and studying Automation & Applied Informatics. I monitor, troubleshoot and automate networks by day, and turn what I learn into products. Most of what you see below is running live, not a screenshot.

On shift
The day job: keeping a global network healthy and the people on it working. Everything else on this page started here.
Incident response
L1 and L2 troubleshooting, from the first ticket to the root cause.
ServiceNow · incidents
Switching & routing
Configuration, verification and clean handovers on Cisco gear.
IOS · VLAN · STP · OSPF
Access & wireless
Access point and switch provisioning for new and changing sites.
AP · switch provisioning
VPN & remote access
Keeping remote users and sites connected, securely.
VPN · IPsec
Change windows
Planned maintenance, done carefully and rolled back cleanly.

Runbooks
I own the L1 and L2 runbooks the team works from.
runbooks · knowledge base
Automation
Small tools that remove repetitive work. One lifted a team KPI by 15%.
PowerShell · internal tools
Panels run on sample data. Clock and edge RTT are live.
Built from the NOC
The tools I wished existed on shift, so I built them: a full network lab, a diagnostics engine and a readiness check that runs on 16,000+ PCs.
Reproduce a real network, from the WAN down to the cable. NOVA boots real Cisco, FortiGate and Linux systems on its own engine, runs several sites at once and links them over WAN circuits with real delay, jitter, loss and fibre distance. Around them it simulates power, UPS, cooling and cabling. Cut a cable or a WAN link and the ping really fails.
Try it. Click a conductor to cut it.T568B
