Sr. Solutions Architect Resume
Greenwood Village, CO
SUMMARY:
- As an outstanding Awarded Network Architect/Engineer I am experienced in solution sets, design, support, LAN, WAN, Wireless, SDN,Nexus virtualization, Cost Effective and Flexible Approaches, Increase IT Agility Abstraction From Infrastructure, and even more so Application Awareness and management within Enterprise. Key Drivers of SDN are Cloud, (EMC) (VMWARE) and others including but limited to mobile and Video. Data Center Architecture and Engineering designs and integrations. on a Global Foot Print Scale has grown in many directions in the last few years, saying that staying to the core physics such and the Harmonic arrays, cooling and other physical elements have to be followed Confidential with a simple and pure reality that dictates success Confidential all location. Regardless of geo location around the globe for Disaster recovery and other elements that maintain 100 up time with HA and not failover are paramount.
- The Financial Markets are one of the clearest targets that an Architect must have as a cornerstone of all designs. There can be zero tolerance due to the nature of all the positive and unfortunate negatives when trades are not committed to as committed to by any market.
- Utilizing Best of Class Manufacturers such as River Bed, Check Point and other Security measures that are not responsible to discuss in this document do to the nature of the classification it requires. We do know, that no only competitors, but also rogue countries are now and will continue to cause harm in any matter that that can be found. I do how ever, due to my Veteran Status have access to a higher layer of D.O.D. Architects than others.
- I am a motivated leader with strong presentation, development of solution sets, analytic, problem solving and strategic planning skills through School, and dict training from Vendors Specifically. I do also have a library that is as impressive that one can find.
- My books, mapping and algorithms go from the primers of ethernet, MPLS with is the original Martini Draft that was created from Level 3 ad sniper Networks. (Control and Forward Planes) which evolved into SDN) the root of all WAN and LAN concepts from Harvard, MIT and a host of other highly respected per I have the ability to train, mentor and communicate effectively with technical and non - technical professionals alike and seek to share and gain knowledge through teamwork and mentoring whenever possible. I have a strong and proven track record of understanding information and firewall, security, allocation and distribution of IP resources, Data-Traffic routing and modeling. Configuration and management skills include multiple vendors networking hardware solution sets.
- I a currnetly as I have time working on the Data Sciences Program From Harvard. A person in my filed must keep education in the forefront in order to be a leader which I was created a leader. My Military Experience shows enough to understand that. I am an Eagle Scout including Order of the Arrow so I was attached to more that most in the US Military.
- With the new arrays of optics it’s paramount that the transport layer be proven tested, failed and put through the toughest testing that can be found. As it is now the 400gig interfaces are being deployed and as with any new technology to deploy on a production stance Confidential this point would be a critical error. I as an other technology led person will require testing but on the 400 gig standard with PAM I would recommend going to the Antirust or other competitors and visualize there testing because the cost analysis should no be on the end user but the provider and we should not have to pull in PHD level personnel to test. It would be a better cost preventive stature to get the very high end details and have a MIT/UCLA/HARVARD team gleam through the physics so there is a very detailed and comprehensive list of questions because the older intercontinental optical interconnect are timing out so as always the transport layer has to be able to handle the multitude of types of traffic and how will they react to the Riverbed Solution.
- My Architecture and professional management skills include SDN, cost analysis, documentation, process/procedure definition, customer account support and training of network leadership, management, support staff and I have been referred to, for many years, as a skilled diplomat/liaison in professional and technical environments. I do not need micromanagement, once I am given mu drivers and directives I have always acceled and will continue to on a path of complete success. MY track record proves that and am more than willing to get all references, digrams and documentation per request.
