I have over 6 years of professional experience in network engineering and IT infrastructure, working across ISP networks, data centers, and enterprise IT environments. I’ve progressed from a Network Administrator to a Senior Network Engineer, and most recently served as Associate IT Support Manager at Topgolf Wien in Austria. I manage routing protocols (BGP, OSPF), firewalls (FortiGate, MikroTik, Sophos), and virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V).

I’ve led network upgrades, core builds, and disaster recovery projects, and specialize in monitoring, security, and IT support using tools like Nagios, Graylog, and Intune. I bring both technical expertise and hands-on problem-solving to every role I take on.
