Network Security Engineer

Kudzayi Mwashita

I keep the networks under Amazon's fulfillment operations up, segmented, and boring. Thirty-plus sites on Cisco and Juniper, SD-WAN between them, Junos firewalls at the edge, and packet-level forensics at 2am when segmentation was not enough. Finishing an MS in Computer Science with a cybersecurity concentration at Arizona State.

The console

A Python program: CPython compiled to WebAssembly, running in your browser. You are handed operator access to a network and asked to assess it — six objectives, each one naming the exact command that clears it, and you can click those instead of typing. It takes about two minutes, and what you are actually reading is my CV.

operator@kingsnet — 10.13.37.0/24
Booting CPython on WebAssembly — the runtime is a few megabytes on first visit. Everything below works without it.

Algorithm lab

Network engineering is the day job. These are the other half — five real programs, running here, in Python. Not recordings.

Experience

Amazon

IT Support Engineer — Network Infrastructure and Security  ·  San Francisco, CA  ·  December 2019 – Present

Thirty-plus buildings ship on this network. When it degrades, they stop.

  • Design, deploy and maintain production network infrastructure across 30+ Amazon Fulfillment Center (FC), Sub Same Day (SSD) and Amazon Logistics (AMZL) sites on Cisco and Juniper platforms, including SD-WAN connectivity and Junos-based firewalls.
  • Enforce network segmentation and least-privilege access by configuring and tuning firewall policies and Access Control Lists (ACLs), closing security gaps before they reach production rather than after.
  • Hold the escalation seat in a 24/7 on-call rotation for network and security incidents across FC, SSD and AMZL facilities, containing breaches and restoring service inside a one-hour response target.
  • Automate network and security operations in Python, Bash and PowerShell, cutting manual configuration work by 34.7% and standardising device hardening across every site.
  • Keep the Amazon Robotics network environment up, sustaining the connectivity that automated material-handling and sortation depend on — when it drops, the floor stops moving and the site misses its ship window.

Volkswagen Zimbabwe

Software Engineer  ·  Harare, Zimbabwe  ·  2014 – 2018

Four years of C# before networking. We replaced Microsoft Dynamics with something built for how dealerships actually work, and it is still running.

  • Worked on the engineering team that replaced Microsoft Dynamics NAV with a custom integrated business management system — ERP and CRM in one product — written in C# on .NET and built around how Volkswagen dealerships actually operate. It is still in production.
  • Supported the Dynamics NAV deployment it replaced, writing custom modules in C# for the processes the stock product could not cover.

Projects

Trading app — multi-asset signal platform (Python, TypeScript)

Full-stack day-trading platform: an async FastAPI backend (~8,500 lines of Python) on PostgreSQL, Redis and SQLAlchemy 2.0, a React/TypeScript web client, and a React Native app sharing the same API. Five market-data providers — Yahoo Finance, CoinGecko, Alpha Vantage, Polygon, TradingView — sit behind one interface with an aggregator in front, and brokers behind another, so paper trading is the default path rather than a mode you have to remember to switch on. Signals combine 15+ technical indicators and candlestick pattern recognition with a scikit-learn price-direction model. JWT auth, Alembic migrations, WebSocket streaming, Docker Compose for the whole stack.

Private repository — happy to walk through it

Pharmaceutical supply chain provenance (Solidity)

Graduate coursework, ASU CSE 540 Engineering Blockchain Applications, Spring 2026, Group 12 (co-author). Solidity contracts tracking custody of pharmaceutical batches across manufacturer, distributor and pharmacy, so counterfeit inventory cannot be inserted without breaking the signature chain, with a TypeScript application layer around them.

An interactive network-recon console that is a Python program: CPython compiled to WebAssembly via PyScript/Pyodide, with the game engine kept as a browser-free module so it runs under pytest. No hand-written JavaScript.
