Summary
Tommy Tao is a Melbourne-based Network Engineer with 10 years' experience blending network operations, security and automation to drive measurable efficiency gains across large healthcare and education environments. He architected and led development of an internal network automation portal using Flask/React, Docker, MongoDB and AD-backed RBAC, integrating 12+ platforms (Cisco, Microsoft and third-party monitoring/billing) to streamline provisioning, NAC and voice workflows. At Monash Health he provisioned 600+ Cisco switches, deployed enterprise NAC across hospitals and automated processes that improved operational efficiency by ~80%, while handling hundreds of BAU incidents. Equally comfortable teaching, he has supervised IT capstone projects and brings an academic mindset from his Master’s in IT to practical MLOps and AI work in NLP, ASR and medical computer vision. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who pairs deep networking expertise with full‑stack automation skills to make complex systems auditable and repeatable.
