Summary
Jose Almaraz is a seasoned Network Administrator with a decade of hands-on experience designing, configuring, and troubleshooting routed and switched networks, backed by CCNA certification. He’s skilled with core routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, RIP), redundancy technologies (HSRP/VRRP/GLBP), and complex Layer 2 constructs like VLANs, VTP, EtherChannel and STP, and has strong TCP/IP and subnetting fundamentals. At Switch he worked on data center operations, ASR9K upgrades and circuit migrations, and automated operational tasks with Python, Netmiko and TextFSM—authoring scripts to report unused ports and downtimes. Comfortable with packet-level tools such as Wireshark and traceroute, he also brings practical experience with ACLs, NAT/PAT, DHCP and DNS in enterprise environments. Based in Henderson, NV and originally from Brazil, he blends infrastructure-focused problem solving with a growing automation toolkit that reduces manual toil and improves network visibility.
