SUMMARY:

• Designed implemented and supported networks from small single site to large corporations with over 1,500 nodes on a global scale. Many of my design/support incorporates the layout of the MDF (Main Distributed Faculty) and IDF (Intermediate Distributed Faculty) cabling to the configuration of the routers, switches, FW, wireless controllers,
• APs, and servers. Provided budget plans for equipment BoM, maintenance and support plan as needed to support client’s account. Tested Cisco Systems devices Operating Systems (OS) to validate features to operate in a multi - vendor environment.
• Simulated network failures and troubleshoot network protocols failures to improved network design using Cisco Systems router. Work in teams or independently to solve technical networking issues which require extensive networking understanding to provide design solutions and infrastructure implementation along with documentations for installation. I’m experienced in the architectural design (MS-Visio) of networks and the implementation of network infrastructure as well as excellent verbal and presentation skills.
