PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, San Antonio, Texas

Senior Network/Security Engineer

Responsibilities:

• To manage and upgrade the WAN AF gateways and security boundary protection for all AF bases. The network consists of 1006 and 1004 ASRs and 7206 VXR routers, 3750X switches and Palo Alto 5060 firewalls. The routers are running BGP with route reflectors, dynamic VPN tunnels and VRF maps. Gateway redundancy and load balancing are also implemented. Solarwinds, Nagios, NetQoS, LogWatch, Splunk and network taps are used to monitor and troubleshoot the network. Panorama is used to manage the Palo Alto 5060 firewalls, including configuration and policy deployment as well as logging.

Technical Program Manager/Senior Network Architect

Responsibilities:

• To survey, design and implement network security, LANs and cable infrastructures for all AF medical treatment facilities worldwide. The designs adhered to MSIM and Base Communication requirements and followed industry, Cisco SRND and SAFE guidelines. The network security included mostly Sidewinders followed by few Checkpoints and ASAs. The LAN electronics installations consisted of a star topology with redundant COREs (mostly Cisco 6509s, few Cisco Nexus 7700 and Brocade BI-RX-16s) with redundant uplinks to the edge equipment (mostly Cisco 4507-REs, 3750Xs, 3750Es, 3750Gs and few FI-SX800s and SX-FI424s).
• All equipment was loaded with JTIC compliant images and was configured to authenticate users to TACACS+ servers. The Nexus 7700s and the 3750Xs were loaded with NX-OS images. Most of the routing protocols used were IGRP and OSPF. GRE was used on point to point links. The wireless equipment consisted of Cisco Aironet access points (APs, 802.11a/b), Aruba controllers, and Aruba APs (802.11g). The VoIP installations had Cisco IP phones (FE and 1 GigE), redundant voicemail servers and redundant CUCMs. The LAN switches were configured with PoE and QoS to handle VoIP phones and its traffic. Route groups, lists, patterns, dial plans, timers, phone auto-registration, voice mail, etc were set in the CUCM. Also encountered and supported few MDS 9124s for SANs in computer rooms where the COREs were being installed.
