Hi, I'm Kennith Anderson.

I design, build, and maintain secure enterprise networks and infrastructure.

I'm a Network Engineer based in Mobile, Alabama where I specialize in enterprise networking and infrastructure, with hands-on experience designing, implementing, maintaining, and troubleshooting secure, reliable network environments. My background includes configuring and supporting Cisco, Fortinet, Aruba, Dell, and Avaya networking solutions across wired and wireless enterprise environments.

My technical experience includes Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, enterprise firewalls, wireless LAN controllers, wireless access points, VPNs, VLANs, network security, and infrastructure troubleshooting. I also have experience with virtualization, Linux administration, and infrastructure management, and I maintain a home lab to continue developing my skills with modern networking and systems technologies.

Throughout my career, I have earned the Cisco Certified Technician (CCT) Routing & Switching, Fortinet Certified Fundamentals in Cybersecurity (FCF), and Fortinet Certified Associate in Cybersecurity (FCA) certifications. While these certifications have since expired, they reflect a strong technical foundation and a continued commitment to professional growth. I am currently working toward earning my Cisco CCNA certification.

I enjoy solving complex technical challenges, learning new technologies, and building secure, scalable, and resilient network infrastructure. I am seeking opportunities where I can continue growing as a network administrator or engineer while contributing to reliable, high-performing enterprise environments.
