As Datrix's lead technical consultant meant being last line of defence for technical escalations and design authority. This would involve formulating Datrix's template and best practice designs used by the consultancy team, and Datrix's 'go to' person for technical related queries and first in line for the most complex of deployments.
Being lead consultant often meant doing the most difficult and technically challenging jobs, from deploying new technologies, resolving the most complex of escalations and being a mentor for other members of the team.
Recently focused on delivering certificate-based authentication for wired and wired networks, with dynamic policy and fabric-based assignment, end to end Quality of
Service with an emphasis on providing zero touch deployment and adopting XMC workflows with custom scripts utilising CLI, API (NBI), Python and JSON.
