About

My name is Nish Vamadevan, Just another guy who wishes to be an expert one day. A Network Systems Engineer currently working towards CCIE on R&S along with other Networking / Security related researches and IT Project Management.

Fnode Networks is the new face of (nishv.com) where I used to post my blogs on. I mainly concentrate on Networking, DNS and Security side of things, thus this website mainly consist of those things along with any interesting and informative aspects of IT which I encounter on a day-to-day basis.
