NETWORK ENGINEER
Stephen
Pollard
I design and implement robust network infrastructure, specializing in automation and enterprise solutions.
Building the backbone of digital infrastructure
I'm a Network Engineer specializing in large-scale WAN/LAN design and Python-driven orchestration. I focus on standardizing multi-site architectures, ensuring configuration correctness, and eliminating manual network operations through deterministic automation.
I have experience with both traditional on-premises enterprise environments and remote branch locations.
Currently focused on infrastructure as code and software-defined networking.
