Hi, my name is

Julian Gourdine.

I build and maintain robust networks.

Network Engineer specializing in scalable infrastructure, troubleshooting, and optimization. Dedicated to building secure, highly available networks and managing large-scale data center infrastructure.

About Me

Hello! My name is Julian, a dedicated Network Engineer with a strong background in enterprise-scale infrastructure and hardware lifecycle management. With a foundation built on a Network Systems Management degree and core certifications (CompTIA Network+), I specialize in building solutions that benefit both the business and my team.

Currently, I work as an L2 Network Engineer at Boeing (via Dell/RMS), where I manage modular Cisco Catalyst systems, trace complex fiber paths, and automate documentation with PowerShell. I also have direct experience working inside an enterprise data center environment, where I replaced critical hardware components, managed inventory, and assisted with large-scale data center migrations.

I thrive in high-paced, mission-critical environments where reliability and uptime are paramount. Having mastered strict physical security and ESD procedures, I consistently deliver reliable physical and logical networking solutions for enterprise environments.
