Project highlights

BGP Connectivity Designs

I have been responsible for engineering multiple solutions for various connectivity projects as the network moves to the cloud and integrates further with 3rd party vendors. Each of these projects for data centers, 3rd parties, and Azure/Express route included multiple entry/exit points and required Active/Active redundancy with as minimal complexity as possible. Each design had a BGP, route filter, and redistribution component.
