Network Engineer

Our place is located in Begumpet, right over in the Syamlal Building. We are sitting in the second lane gate, directly opposite the RBI quarters. It’s a busy area of Hyderabad, and finding the right door can be a little tricky if you’re not looking for the 1-11-129/1 house number. A. Kareem and P. Vijay Kumar are the names associated with this spot. We spend most of our time dealing with networking issues that pop up around the neighborhood. The office isn't anything special to look at, just a room filled with routers, switches, and a lot of tangled blue cables. It gets pretty loud outside with the traffic, especially being so close to the main road and the gate. We’ve been working out of this location for a while now. The work is mostly just day-to-day troubleshooting. Sometimes a connection drops and we have to spend hours figuring out which port went bad. Other days are slower and we just tidy up the workspace. It’s not a corporate environment by any means. We just do the work that needs doing. We know the shortcuts around Begumpet to avoid the worst of the traffic when we need to get to a site. It’s a decent place to work from, even if it feels a bit cramped when we have a lot of gear coming in. That’s just the life of a network engineer here in the city.
