15+ Years in the Network Trenches
NexGen Gurus LLC was built on the belief that organizations — commercial and federal alike — deserve direct access to senior network architecture talent, not a help-desk queue.
Francis Forsang, Principal Network Architect
Francis Forsang founded NexGen Gurus LLC after more than 15 years designing, deploying, and troubleshooting multi-vendor enterprise networks — Cisco, Juniper, Aruba, and HP — and cloud environments on AWS and Azure, for some of the most demanding environments in financial services, aerospace, and professional consulting.
His career spans hands-on engineering with organizations including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Collins Aerospace, and Deloitte — giving him a rare combination of deep technical depth and an understanding of how networks support regulatory, mission, and enterprise objectives at the same time.
Today, Francis leads every NexGen Gurus engagement personally, ensuring clients get principal-level architecture and accountability on every project — whether it's a federal network modernization effort or an enterprise SD-WAN rollout.

Engineering Reliability Into Every Network We Touch
We exist to make sure the networks behind critical missions — financial systems, aerospace operations, and federal infrastructure — stay up, stay secure, and stay ahead of the threats and demands placed on them.
Engineer First
Every recommendation is grounded in real architecture experience, not a sales script. We design what we'd be comfortable supporting at 3 a.m.
Security by Design
Zero Trust principles and segmentation aren't an add-on — they're built into the network from the first diagram.
People, Not Just Ports
We invest in training the next generation of certified network, security, and cloud engineers, because resilient networks need resilient teams.
