CAREER PROFILE

Confidential

Network Consultant

• UPS uses Motorola wireless networks to operate the flight line and is testing and upgrading the entire network due to outages that occurred during the peak Christmas season last year. The outages occurred due to the number of planes parked and moving through the loading/unloading areas, as it was their busiest time ever in the history of the company. The task is to test them implement new WAPs, WIPs, and antennas on both fixed locations and vehicles to ensure as few blockages of wireless signals as possible and keep the loading/unloading moving smoothly to ensure on-time departures and arrivals. My division is also in charge of design through implementation for all of UPS's wireless networks across the globe. I am on a second project to write the documentation for doing wireless surveys, including Predictive and Actual site surveys for the design phase of building and/or upgrading the wireless networks for flight lines, warehouses, and other corporate facilities.

Network Consultant

• Aliado is a small solutions company who hires contract engineers. I have done a number of jobs for them where I was involved from SOW calls through implementation and testing of the project.One job was anF5 installation for Ashland Oil in Lexington, KY, where I built, and configureda pair of F5 5200s, shipped one to a company they had just purchased in the Netherlands, then when contacted by the engineers there, implemented and tested over dual MPLS circuits. These were set up as both forward and reverse proxies. I have done a job for the city of Chattanooga where I installed SolarWinds NPA Network Performance Monitor , NPA Utilization and Bandwidth Monitoring , and Engineer's Tools software's, and trained the network engineers on the use of the software. My last job for them was for the US Bankruptcy Court in Sacramento, CA. and was designing, building, configuring, test and implementation of twoBlueCoat 600 Web accelerators to transfer the customer's SAN data from the HQ data center to the backup center 180 miles south. This was also from the SOW call through getting dual MPLS circuits from AT T and Verizon to the implementation being complete and tested.

Network/Security Engineer

• I have done a number of very short term 1 week or less jobs for companies primarily troubleshooting and/or upgrading their networks white looking for long term work. This has included configuring and upgrading Cisco routers, ASA firewalls, Cisco switches, F5 load balancers, and BlueCoat proxy/web accelerators. The router and switch work has included both IOS and NX operating systems.Several jobs were upgrading or installing wireless networks where heat maps were required to ensure good coverage. During this time I have done a router replacement/firewall rules change for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.

Network Engineer

• One of a team of 5 engineers hired to perform an IOS upgrade, and build, test and implement a QOS build for Charter's CPE switches which were primarily Cisco ME-3400's. We had to build the QOS configuration, then at the appointed time for each customer login to their switch, download IOS ver 12.54 and reload the switch. We then had to login again and download the QOS build to the running config file and save it to the startup file. On a half dozen occasions I was integral in improving both the build itself and/or the process by which this was accomplished. The process was started using spreadsheets and I and 1 other engineer convinced them to build a database, and to use templates for the QOS build.

Sr. Network Engineer

• We are in charge of network support including build, test and implement,maintenance,and troubleshooting of routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, and proxies for all networks of CSC and their customers. This involves taking tickets from several sources and finding what the issue is, then resolving the issue including upgrades, routing, switching, firewall rules changes, proxy policies, and anything else to do with the network devices. This also involves helping resolve wireless issues to the point of determining whether it is an actual wireless controller or WAP issue or a desktop config issue. We resolve the network issues and hand off the desktop config issues to desktop support. We are involved in all new network builds due to the fact of having to subsequently support them. All changes to any network equipment must be done by our group. The devices involved were all the devices Cisco has made in the last 25 years as well as Juniper firewalls, Alteon and F5 load balancers, and Bluecoat Proxies. IP issues were uncommon but taken care of by means of various tools including sniffers, network management software, and debugging network equipment. F5 work was any troubleshooting of issues, the repair of the same, plus all changes to the VIPs, pools, and nodes which any customer requested. These changes involved ensuring the proper IP addresses, MACs, as well as loading the proper security certificates. Documentation and security are always part of our duties as security is of utmost importance and documentation must always be updated with any change that occurs. CSC had 2 core 6500s which were changed to Nexus 7000s while Nexus was still in Beta, and customers of CSC have multiple network layouts. There is 80k sq. ft. of raised data floor in our building most of which is network devices. We have leased another data center in VA which has 10K sq. ft. with capability of adding another 60 K if needed. This was done for a new customer Zurich Insurance, home based in Switzerland, with subsidiaries in the U.S. such as Farmer's Insurance. This was 6 Nexus 7000s, 12 Nexus 5000s, and 28 Nexus 2500s, which the design engineer and I did the build, configuration, test and implementation in 9 days. MPLS is a large part of CSCs business as they are a worldwide corporation with customers across the globe.
