Systems Engineer – Arik Airline (Sophos XG)
•
Demonstrated a Proof of Concept of Sophos XG Firewall 750 to a reputable Airline company with up to 1000
users on the Network in Lagos and it was seamlessly integrated to the Enterprise Network. In the course of
the POC, I had to readjust some of the configurations on the core switches such as policy based routing, accesslist denial, web-proxy and the Routing table to achieve the purpose of the firewall on the network which are
WAN-Link load balancing, User traffic visibility, Single-sign on and captive portal authentication and most
especially network security.
Systems Engineer – Mediterranean Shipping Company (FortiGate)

Responsible for the configuration and replacement of the existing Firewalls with FortiGate Firewall for both

and I also configured wan link load balancing with the SD-WAN feature on the FortiGate as requested. This
provided network redundancy for internet access. A VPN connection was also configured to communicate
with users on the Firewall implemented in Port-Harcourt.
