My role spans the full design lifecycle, covering UX/UI design, user research, usability testing, and strategic design planning, across Casavi's web platform, mobile app, and customer portals. Each team comprises around 10 members, including a project manager, designer, developers, and QA testers. I am also responsible for the accessibility assurance of the whole product.
Design unit role: In addition to my core responsibilities, I actively contribute to the development and maintenance of the company's design system and style guide ensuring consistency and scalability across all products. Mentor junior designers is my official and moral responsibility.

About the technology
Network foundations
Cisco provides the hardware, software and services used to connect offices, data centers, campuses and cloud environments. Its portfolio covers routing, switching, wireless access, firewalls, collaboration and network management. Companies use Cisco technology to build secure, resilient infrastructure for users, applications and connected devices.
Core ecosystem
Professionals may work across Cisco IOS, IOS XE, NX-OS, Meraki and Cisco DNA Center. Common environments include Catalyst switches, ISR and ASR routers, Nexus platforms, Meraki cloud management, Webex, Cisco Secure Firewall and Identity Services Engine. Strong specialists also understand Ethernet, TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VLANs, VPNs, SD-WAN and network automation.
Typical delivery
Cisco specialists contribute to projects that require dependable connectivity and controlled change:
- Design campus, branch and data center networks
- Configure routing, switching, wireless and firewall policies
- Migrate sites to SD-WAN or Meraki management
- Segment users, devices and applications with secure access controls
- Monitor, document and troubleshoot network performance
When to bring in help
Companies often need freelance expertise during office moves, mergers, cloud migrations, security upgrades or large network refreshes. A specialist can assess an existing configuration, create a practical target design and execute changes with a clear rollback plan. In Berlin, this support can combine remote configuration with on-site work for cabling, hardware replacement or acceptance testing.
Quality signals
A capable Cisco professional explains design choices in terms of availability, security, operations and cost. They validate assumptions, keep diagrams and configuration records current, and test changes before production rollout. Look for hands-on work with the relevant Cisco product family, incident response experience and disciplined use of IOS, APIs, templates or infrastructure-as-code where appropriate.
Collaboration and outcomes
Successful projects start with an inventory of devices, links, sites, identities and business-critical services. The specialist should define ownership, access requirements, monitoring, documentation and handover before implementation. Whether the team works in German, English or a combination, clear runbooks and knowledge transfer make the resulting Cisco environment easier to operate and extend.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Cisco? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Companies use Cisco to connect offices, campuses, data centers, branches and cloud services. Its products support routing, switching, wireless access, firewalls, identity controls, collaboration and network monitoring.
Cisco is often compared with Juniper for routing and security, and with HPE Aruba for switching and wireless. The right choice depends on the existing environment, operating model, required integrations, licensing approach and the specialist skills available to support it.
A strong Cisco freelancer commonly understands TCP/IP, VLANs, BGP, OSPF, VPNs, firewalls, wireless design and network monitoring. Experience with Python, REST APIs, Ansible, cloud networking and identity services is valuable for repeatable, modern operations.
The answer depends on the scope and risk of the work. A small switch or wireless change may need focused product knowledge, while a multi-site migration requires Cisco design, troubleshooting, security and change-management experience.
Yes. Cisco configuration, documentation, monitoring and many migration tasks can be handled remotely through controlled access. On-site support may still be useful for hardware installation, cabling, console access or physical testing, and teams should agree on language and support windows early.
Before changing Cisco, a specialist should review the topology, configuration backups, dependencies, access methods, maintenance window and rollback procedure. They should also confirm monitoring coverage and test the change in a lab or limited scope where practical.
Ask for relevant examples involving the same Cisco product family, network scale and operational constraints. A quality professional can explain trade-offs clearly, produce accurate diagrams and runbooks, demonstrate safe troubleshooting, and show how they validate security and availability.
Cisco remains relevant when organizations need controlled connectivity between offices, data centers, cloud services and remote users. Cisco SD-WAN, Meraki, security products and automation tools can support hybrid environments, provided the design fits the company’s cloud and operating model.
