Remotely supported the mobile devices of a national traveling team of electricians. Business uptime was maximized by preemptively analyzing and optimizing the corporate WAN. I helped the business be more competitive by introducing technologies including remote client/server support, Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V), and Sage 50 Quantum Accounting. Security was increased across the network as I introduced Cisco appliances and constructed traffic shaping rules. I maintained QoS for critical traffic from VPN, VoIP, and IP cameras.
