15+ years of experience in cybersecurity, SD-WAN, and network services — with a growing focus on how AI fits into network operations.
I am a Network and Security Infrastructure Engineer with 15+ years of experience spanning hands-on network engineering and pre-sales. I started my career designing and operating large-scale networks directly — including a global network supporting roughly 1,500 locations and 18,000+ users — before moving into pre-sales, where I've spent the past several years helping customers and channel partners design, demonstrate, and implement SD-WAN and SASE solutions.
More recently, I've been building the Universal Network Director — an approval-gated AI orchestration agent that governs MCP servers across multiple network vendors — HPE Aruba EdgeConnect (REST), Juniper (NETCONF), Proxmox (REST), and Cisco (CLI over SSH) — using the Anthropic API to let AI systems query and act on real infrastructure. Read-only requests pass through automatically; anything that changes live configuration requires my explicit approval before it executes. I'm actively expanding the integration set with MCP servers for Juniper Mist and Juniper Security Director Cloud, both REST-based. I build with Claude Code, applying my own network engineering background to the protocol integrations, safety design, and approval workflow — not a claim to have solved this, just genuine curiosity about where AI fits into network operations.
Networks have always been multivendor by necessity — no single platform covers everything. I think AI's real value here isn't replacing that reality, it's finally giving us a consistent way to see and operate across it, as long as the humans stay in control of anything that actually changes production infrastructure.
