The Journey
This isn't a chronology of jobs. It's the story of how curiosity about networking grew into an engineering identity.
After playing a game called Watchdogs on my console,(Yes a game inspired me! :) ) I got the first spark for security. I really got curious about how do computers actually talk to each other? That curiosity became the thread that runs through everything since.
Inspired by one of my Seniors at Cisco, (Shyaam Anna) who guided me At SASTRA University, Computer Networks stood apart. TCP/IP and OSI weren't coursework to pass, but they were the most interesting puzzles in the building. Networking became my Unique Selling Point, thanks to the inspiration (An identity was created)
Becoming a Cisco Campus Ambassador was a dream come true. It turned networking from a personal interest into a craft worth sharing. Earning and an outstanding grade in networking subject in college confirmed the direction and teaching others sharpened the communication that engineering so often lacks.
At Tata Consultancy Services, the work moved from labs to live enterprise Azure environments : reusable Terraform, cloud governance, and customer demonstrations where business value matters as much as technical depth.
Cloud is networking, extended. Infrastructure as Code is networking, automated. Each new domain reinforced the same belief: strong fundamentals make everything above them simpler to reason about.
Cisroute is the place for me to document it all: the stories, the labs, the lessons. Not the end of a job search, the beginning of a ten-year engineering journey.
CCNP Enterprise. Data Centers, Cisco Live. Open source. Mentorship. Every future achievement is meant to feel like another chapter in the same story.
