I'm Neal Pandit — 8+ years across network operations, Azure infrastructure, and cybersecurity. I specialize in solving complex networking problems, automating infrastructure, and architecting secure cloud environments that balance performance, security, and scale.
I'm a Network & Security practitioner who's spent the better part of a decade keeping infrastructure fast, available, and hard to break. My day-to-day spans network operations, Azure architecture, and the front lines of technical support — translating messy real-world problems into clean, secure solutions.
I'm drawn to the security space because it rewards curiosity and discipline in equal measure. Whether it's tightening access with RBAC and MFA, hunting threats with Sentinel and Splunk, or codifying infrastructure with Terraform, I care about systems that are resilient by design — not bolted on after the fact. I hold both a BS and MS in Cybersecurity, and I'm always looking for the next hard problem.
