Beschreibung

Helping Swiss and European enterprises secure complex hybrid networks and applications by combining 20+ years in network engineering with deep firewall, WAF and cloud automation expertise. As an HR reviewer, this profile reads as a senior Cloud & Network Security Engineer/Architect who can own design, implementation and lifecycle of security controls rather than just operating them.

Experience spans:

- Network security orchestration with AlgoSec/Tufin for Fortinet, Check Point, Palo Alto and F5, including AppViz, NetFlow auto-discovery, Nessus integration and Infoblox-driven risk automation to support SOC and audit requirements.

- Advanced routing/switching with Cisco CCNP R&S/SP and Juniper JNCIP‑SP, large scale migrations (e.g. Enterasys to Cisco Nexus FEX), and high‑availability troubleshooting suited to Swiss enterprise environments.

- Application delivery and protection with F5 BIG-IP (LTM, WAF, APM, SSLO, BigIQ, rSeries/F5OS) and Airlock WAF, delivering PCI/DSS/compliant architectures, PROD/TEST segregation, performance tuning and 2nd/3rd level plus architectural ownership.

- Cloud and DevOps: GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, AWS and Azure for secure migrations and landing zones; refactoring Airlock WAF and Skyhigh Web Gateway to AWS with autoscaling and multi‑region setups; ExpressRoute and Swisscom EnterpriseConnect, Private Link, hub-and-spoke designs with native FortiGate.
