Independent network engineer · Portugal & Spain

The network should be the part of the business nobody has to think about.

When it isn’t, I help. I design, fix and harden enterprise networks — from the campus switch to the data center fabric and the cloud edge.

Sound familiar?

Most conversations start with one of these.

  1. Outages that come and go, and nobody can say why.
  2. A firewall rulebase no one dares to touch.
  3. One link fails and a whole site goes dark.
  4. Access control held together by exceptions.
  5. An SD-Access or ACI rollout that stalled halfway.
  6. Cloud connectivity added in a hurry, never revisited.
  7. Every change made by hand, one device at a time.
  8. An AI cluster waiting on a network that can’t keep up.

If one of these is yours, that’s the work I do.

How I work

Remote, direct and written down.

  • Remote by default

    I work over secure access that you control and can revoke at any time. No travel costs, and a faster response.

  • You talk to the engineer

    No account managers, no tickets passed between teams. The person you describe the problem to is the person who fixes it.

  • Every change documented

    Diagrams, configuration notes and the reasoning behind decisions, so your team is never dependent on me.

  • In your language

    Portuguese, Spanish or English, in your time zone.

  • Designed to fail safely

    Redundancy where it matters, failover that is tested rather than assumed, and no single point of failure you don’t know about.

  • Automated where it pays off

    Ansible, Python and a source of truth for repetitive changes, so less depends on someone typing carefully at 2 a.m.

Equipment

Need the hardware too?

I can also specify and supply the equipment for a project — switches, routers, firewalls, wireless and optics — so design and hardware come from one place.
