About Me

I'm Poorna

Network Engineer, Software Engineer & AI Tools Engineer
Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) - Routing & Switching

I architect reliable systems from the network up—building the infrastructure, engineering the data pipelines, and shipping the software. With expertise spanning network design, AI tools engineering with Azure Databricks and PySpark, and full-stack development, I understand how to build systems that scale across every layer of the stack.

I don't just work across domains—I excel in all three. CCNA-certified with hands-on enterprise network experience, practical AI tools engineering skills transforming raw data into actionable insights, and software engineering expertise shipping production code. My work focuses on what matters: reliability at scale, secure by design, and intelligent automation.

Currently: Pursuing Master's in Computer Science at Clark University. Seeking: Full-time opportunities where I can leverage my network engineering, AI tools engineering, and software development expertise to solve complex problems.
