  • • Lead the design, implementation, and operational reliability of DISA’s hybrid enterprise network spanning on-premises data centers, remote offices, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
  • • Serve as technical lead for a team of Network Engineers and NOC members, assigning and prioritizing daily/weekly work, managing the Network On-Call Rota, and providing escalation support and mentoring.
  • • Own and continuously improve core network services including firewalls, VPN, LAN/WAN, load balancing/SSL offload, centralized network management, and NOC operations, defining standards, runbooks, and guardrails.
  • • Design and operate cloud network components in Azure and AWS, including VNet/VPC, subnets, routing tables, security groups/NSGs, and hybrid connectivity via VPN and ExpressRoute to support application migration and cloud landing zones.
  • • Lead Zero Trust Micro-Segmentation (ZTM) initiatives by implementing default-deny policies, segmenting traffic across on-prem, Azure, and AWS environments, partnering with application owners for traffic validation, and leading hypercare during post-change stabilization.

  • • Manage and maintain a diverse fleet of network devices including Palo Alto firewalls, Panorama, Cisco Meraki, Nexus, Arista, Citrix Netscaler, and Cisco routers/switches.
  • • Coordinate incident response with NOC and cross-functional teams, triaging and resolving outages with clear ServiceNow ticketing (including impact, source/destination, timestamps, and evidence) and capturing lessons learned.
  • • Ensure actionable network telemetry through monitoring platforms such as Nagios, LogicMonitor, SolarWinds, and Sumo Logic, improving alert quality and reducing noise to enable effective NOC first-response.
  • • Partner with vendors and internal teams on troubleshooting, hardware upgrades, and lifecycle planning, ensuring compliance with licensing and capacity requirements.
  • • Maintain accurate, up-to-date network documentation including diagrams, traffic flows, routing rules, and operational procedures, and develop AI-managed documentation for usability by engineers and NOC operators.
  • • Drive operational excellence in change management, incident response, cross-team communication, and documentation standards across all network environments.
