Levi Payne is a seasoned systems and network engineer with 11 years of experience delivering secure, mission-critical infrastructure for defense and commercial customers from Denver. He has led complex network core migrations and large-scale firewall and patching efforts with zero mission impact, and drove automation and documentation initiatives that cut troubleshooting time by as much as 73%. Levi blends hands-on hardware and software troubleshooting aboard naval platforms with enterprise-grade network architecture—deploying VXRAIL NSX-T, Cisco ISE 802.1x, and FTD migrations across multi-enclave environments. His background in naval cryptologic operations informs a disciplined security-first approach, including DISA STIG implementation and successful cybersecurity inspections. Currently a Systems Engineer supporting the Satellite Control Network and pursuing CCNP, he pairs practical field experience with an architect’s perspective. Notably, he has led teams through high-pressure live test events and coordinated cross-organizational efforts to maintain continuous operational availability.
