Hello, I’m Sanchit Agrawal, founder of SanchitGurukul and a Network and Cybersecurity professional with more than 17 years of experience in enterprise networking, network security, application delivery, infrastructure, and advanced technical troubleshooting.

I began my professional career in March 2009. Since then, I have worked with complex enterprise technologies and environments, developing extensive hands-on experience in network design, implementation, security, application delivery, infrastructure support, performance analysis, and the resolution of complex technical issues.

I currently work as a Senior Escalation Engineer, focusing on advanced troubleshooting, technical escalations, root-cause analysis, and the resolution of complex networking, security, and application-delivery challenges.

Throughout my career, I have worked across technologies and concepts including enterprise networking, routing and switching, firewalls, network security, proxies, secure web access, application delivery controllers, load balancing, DDoS protection, CGNAT, IPv6 migration, web application security, packet analysis, Linux networking, and enterprise infrastructure.

My experience has taught me that strong technical expertise is built through a combination of clear fundamentals, hands-on practice, continuous learning, systematic troubleshooting, and knowledge sharing.

Professional Certifications and Technical Credentials

Continuous learning has been an important part of my professional journey. Since beginning my career in 2009, I have earned professional certifications and technical credentials from leading networking and cybersecurity organizations, including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, A10 Networks, EC-Council, Zscaler, Fortinet, and ICSI.

My certification journey includes:

  • A10 Certified Architect – ACOS 4
  • A10 Certified Professional – DDoS Protection
  • A10 Certified Professional – Secure Web Access
  • A10 Certified Professional – CGNAT & IPv6 Migration
  • A10 Certified Professional – Application Delivery
  • A10 Certified Professional – System Administration
  • Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE)
