Building Networks
That Actually Work

I'm Misal Muhammed Kunhi — a Network & Infrastructure Engineer with a sharp focus on designing enterprise-grade, fault-tolerant architectures. I live in the world of Cisco, routing protocols, and systems that need to stay up.

Currently grinding toward CCIE certification while building projects at the intersection of networking and intelligent automation. I believe the next evolution of infrastructure engineering requires fluency in both CLI and code.

Outside the NOC, you'll find me logging long-distance runs on Strava, hiking trails, or capturing the world through a camera lens.

In My Natural
Habitat

This is where I'm most at home — a terminal, a topology, and a problem to solve. Simulated diagnostic run across a multi-site Cisco environment.

From BGP session verification to Ansible playbook deployments, this is the day-to-day.
