Can you tell us about your professional background?
My passion lies in taking products and ideas from conception to market success. I am obsessed with helping customers overcome their business challenges by leveraging innovative ideas and cutting-edge technologies. This passion led me to join Cisco in 2002, where I spent nearly 13 years serving in diverse roles, including as a lead in Technical Marketing, Solutions Engineering, and Product Management teams. During my tenure at Cisco, I had the amazing opportunity to enhance the Cisco Certified Internetworking Engineer (CCIE) Routing and Switching track, which truly enriched my experience.
As the industry shifted from hardware-based networks to Software Defined Network (SDN), I pursued my obsession to support customers and joined the VMware SDN team. At VMware, I had the privilege of leading the Network and Security (NSX) Solutions Architecture team, where we designed and deployed networking and security solutions for some of the largest enterprises on the planet.
Understanding the gradual adoption process of new technologies like SDN, I realized the importance of bridging the skill gap and educating the community. In response, I played a pivotal role in creating the VCDX-NV (VMware Certified Design Expert for Network Virtualization) program at VMware. Additionally, I authored a book published by VMware Press that delves into the intricacies of SDN based Private Cloud Designs. View here.
Now, I am proud to be a part of Aviatrix, where we are witnessing the transformation of networking from on-premises to the public cloud. I am leading the team of Solutions Architects at Aviatrix, which allows me to continue pursuing my passion of tackling business challenges and making customers successful in their cloud adoption journey.
