* Developed Python-based network automation scripts using Netmiko to streamline configurations and firmware upgrades on 20+ enterprise switches, reducing manual deployment time by 60%. 

* Integrated the scripts into a Jenkins-driven CI/CD regression framework to automatically test network changes, accelerating release cycles by 50% and improving reliability.   

* Migrated legacy CLI-based network tools to a Python Flask REST API, enabling HTTP-based provisioning and telemetry at 5,000 requests/min in a cloud-native environment, cutting manual config by 35%. 

* Executed SDN benchmarking on BMv2 and Intel Tofino with P4 programs and designed a custom data plane to optimize pipelines, boosting throughput by 20% and reducing latency by 15%.
