Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Network and Security Engineer with 10 years of experience, I am now capable of managing a LAN/WLAN from end to end, whether on RUN or BUILD, regardless of the technologies used.

I have also acquired expertise in security solutions like proxies (Ironport/Squid/Forti) or firewalls (Checkpoint/Fortinet/Stormshield/Palo Alto), which allows me to be autonomous in managing traffic (access, authentication, logs, HA...).

Today I am looking to maintain my current skills but also to deepen the WAN routing part, whether on VPN/MPLS or SDWAN (VxLAN MP-BGP EVPN) architectures.

I am someone who likes to undertake, discover new things, learn and share. My watchwords are open-mindedness, frankness, sharing and learning.

Ideally, I would like to work abroad, with a preference for Switzerland or Spain, as I particularly like the mountains. I am comfortable with English, both written and spoken, and I also have a good command of German.
