<h1>
About me
</h1>
<article>
<p>I’m Timothy Bates, a South Australian with a strong passion for technology and aviation.
<p>
I currently work as a Network Engineer at BAE Systems Australia, responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining critical network infrastructure across geographically diverse locations. With over 11 years of experience in network engineering and several years of sysadmin experience (primarily with Linux), I’ve developed a deep understanding of network security, systems integration, and managing complex technical projects.
<p>
<p>
I thrive in dynamic environments, excelling at quickly assessing challenges and delivering secure, efficient solutions. I effectively engage with stakeholders at all levels to drive results across technical, operational, and strategic domains.
<p>
I am particularly motivated by opportunities to work on challenging network engineering projects, leveraging my skills to support high-performance systems.
<p>
As an aviation enthusiast with an Australian Private Pilot License and over 200 hours of flight time, I’m always eager to discuss anything aviation and meteorology. My aviation endorsements include:
<ul>
<li>Manual Propeller Pitch Control (MPPC)</li>
<li>Tail Wheel Undercarriage (TWU)</li>
<li>Instrument Rating (SEA, VORL, NGNSS, DEPS, NVORL, RNP2D)</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h1>
Professional Experience
</h1>
With a strong foundation in network engineering and systems administration, I have specialized in designing, securing, and maintaining mission-critical infrastructure for large-scale projects. Key responsibilities and achievements include:
<ul>
<li>Deploying and managing network infrastructure, including routers, switches, firewalls, and cryptographic technologies.</li>
<li>Designing secure network solutions in compliance with Australian Information Security Manual (ISM) and Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs).</li>
<li>Implementing network security controls, including IPsec tunnels, intrusion detection, and dynamic routing protocols to safeguard data and ensure the resiliency of mission-critical systems.</li>
<li>Using automation technologies like Ansible to streamline network and system configurations across large deployments, reducing manual effort and increasing efficiency.</li>
</ul>
I am committed to ensuring the resilience and security of critical systems and infrastructure, contributing to the success of projects that support national security.
<h1>
Certifications
</h1>
<p>
I hold several industry certifications to complement my experience in network engineering and security, including:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Advanced Infrastructure Implementation</li>
<li>Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Core</li>
<li>Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP)</li>
<li>Cisco Certified Network Associate Routing and Switching (CCNA)</li>
<li>Cisco Certified Network Associate Security (CCNA)</li>
<li>CNSS 4011 Recognition</li>
</ul>
<h1>
Current Pursuits
</h1>
<p>
I am expanding my expertise into cloud services, focusing on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Recently, I successfully set up a scalable and secure infrastructure using AWS components, including:
<ul>
<li>Public Subnets and Elastic IP addresses for EC2 instances</li>
<li>Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for secure database management</li>

<h1>
About me
</h1>
<article>
<p>I’m Timothy Bates, a South Australian with a strong passion for technology and aviation.
<p>
I currently work as a Network Engineer at BAE Systems Australia, responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining critical network infrastructure across geographically diverse locations. With over 11 years of experience in network engineering and several years of sysadmin experience (primarily with Linux), I’ve developed a deep understanding of network security, systems integration, and managing complex technical projects.
<p>
<p>
I thrive in dynamic environments, excelling at quickly assessing challenges and delivering secure, efficient solutions. I effectively engage with stakeholders at all levels to drive results across technical, operational, and strategic domains.
<p>
I am particularly motivated by opportunities to work on challenging network engineering projects, leveraging my skills to support high-performance systems.
<p>
As an aviation enthusiast with an Australian Private Pilot License and over 200 hours of flight time, I’m always eager to discuss anything aviation and meteorology. My aviation endorsements include:
<ul>
<li>Manual Propeller Pitch Control (MPPC)</li>
<li>Tail Wheel Undercarriage (TWU)</li>
<li>Instrument Rating (SEA, VORL, NGNSS, DEPS, NVORL, RNP2D)</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h1>
Professional Experience
</h1>
With a strong foundation in network engineering and systems administration, I have specialized in designing, securing, and maintaining mission-critical infrastructure for large-scale projects. Key responsibilities and achievements include:
<ul>
<li>Deploying and managing network infrastructure, including routers, switches, firewalls, and cryptographic technologies.</li>
<li>Designing secure network solutions in compliance with Australian Information Security Manual (ISM) and Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs).</li>
<li>Implementing network security controls, including IPsec tunnels, intrusion detection, and dynamic routing protocols to safeguard data and ensure the resiliency of mission-critical systems.</li>
<li>Using automation technologies like Ansible to streamline network and system configurations across large deployments, reducing manual effort and increasing efficiency.</li>
</ul>
I am committed to ensuring the resilience and security of critical systems and infrastructure, contributing to the success of projects that support national security.
<h1>
Certifications
</h1>
<p>
I hold several industry certifications to complement my experience in network engineering and security, including:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Advanced Infrastructure Implementation</li>
<li>Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Core</li>
<li>Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP)</li>
<li>Cisco Certified Network Associate Routing and Switching (CCNA)</li>
<li>Cisco Certified Network Associate Security (CCNA)</li>
<li>CNSS 4011 Recognition</li>
</ul>
<h1>
Current Pursuits
</h1>
<p>
I am expanding my expertise into cloud services, focusing on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Recently, I successfully set up a scalable and secure infrastructure using AWS components, including:
<ul>
<li>Public Subnets and Elastic IP addresses for EC2 instances</li>
<li>Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for secure database management</li>
<li>S3 for
