About this Gig

Your Palo Alto firewall is only as strong as the policies behind it. Misconfigured App-ID rules, bloated security profiles, and unoptimized NAT/routing are the most common causes of both security gaps and performance issues and most of them go unnoticed until something breaks or an audit flags them.

I'm a former Senior Professional Service engineer with hands-on production experience across Palo Alto, FortiGate, and Sophos platforms. I help businesses deploy new PAN-OS firewalls correctly the first time, or clean up and harden existing ones that have accumulated years of rule sprawl.

What I can help with:

  • Initial firewall deployment and zone/interface configuration
  • Security policy design (App-ID, User-ID, security profiles)
  • NAT, routing, and site-to-site/GlobalProtect VPN setup
  • Panorama-managed multi-firewall environments
  • Rule base cleanup removing unused/shadowed/overly-permissive rules
  • HA pairing and failover configuration
  • Documentation of final config for your internal team

I work CLI-first, so every change is scriptable, auditable, and repeatable, not just clicked through the GUI and forgotten.
