Tarun Kalyanam

I am a Network Engineer with 3+ years of experience designing, implementing, and managing secure, high-availability enterprise and cloud network infrastructures. My expertise spans routing & switching (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), firewalls (Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, Check Point), load balancers (F5, Citrix), and SD-WAN solutions, enabling organizations to scale seamlessly and securely.

I have strong experience in cloud networking (AWS VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Azure VNet, ExpressRoute) and specialize in building hybrid cloud environments that reduce latency, improve resiliency, and meet compliance standards such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001.

Passionate about automation and efficiency, I leverage Python, Ansible, and Terraform to streamline deployments, reduce manual errors, and improve operational agility. I am equally skilled at troubleshooting and optimizing complex network infrastructures using tools like SolarWinds, Wireshark, Cisco Prime, and NetFlow.

I thrive in cross-functional, high-pressure environments, collaborating with DevOps and Security teams to deliver resilient solutions that support business growth and innovation.
