• Assisted in the design and deployment of 100Gb backbone MPLS connections between 40+ datacenters.• Design and deploy Multi-tenant Compliant Cloud and migrate existing customers from old environment to new environment. Using VMware solutions to PCI standards. • Designed and deployed Arista Data Center fabric using vxlan and MP-BGP.• Designed and deployed Managed remote backup solution using Commvault.• Designed and deployed multiple large Data Center core networking environments.• Design and deployed large Multi-Tenant Compliant Cloud for large Disaster recovery site. Using VMware products to FISMA/HIPPA/NIST/PCI standards. This solution involved vsan encryption using an external KMS, micro-segmentation, VMware Cloud Director and Zerto.• Designed and deployed Nutanix Frame solutions.• Designed and deployed Nutanix AHV and ESXi environments using Nutanix Leap as DR solution.• Designed and deployed VxRail product using Dell switching with and without Dell Smartfabric.• Designed and deployed VMware Cloud Director with NSX-V and NSX-T integration.• Designed, deployed, and managed Velo Cloud fabric.• Designed, deployed, and managed VMware Cloud Foundation on VxRAIL.• Acted as lead for product team, providing visibility and integration between multiple projects, engineers, managers, and Architects. Also provided guidance to team members on technical and not technical issues.

• Oversee presales and post sales system architecture for a wide range of clients and business verticals. • Redesign private and multi-tenant datacenter for internal and client use. This included migration of over 30 physical servers and 15 virtual machines on XenServer, Hyper-V, and ESXi. These servers where migrated to Hyper-V for standardization• Design, Deploy, and manage a 75 seat RDS VDI environment• Design, Deploy, and manage a 30 seat VMware VDI environment• Lead standardization initiative for internal and client systems.• Provided Tier 3 support for all clients and internal systems.

On contract with GE Corporate• Investigate and document production routing design necessary for integrating GE Healthcare’s global private WAN, and interconnections into the GE GTN corporate network. Discovery includes the interior routing protocol (EIGRP), the external routing protocol (BGP), and all associated route control and engineering mechanisms.• Design routing domain solutions, EIGRP and BGP, for the specific purpose of streamlining the migration of global sites to Interconnect (IC) backbone with minimal BU device configuration. Collaborate with BU to determine business mission critical applications and process flows.• Create the Implementation Plans and configuration scripts, required to implement agreed upon design solutions to successfully migrate sites to new IC backbone without burdening BU with engineering engagements.• Successfully implemented multiple advanced engineering and routing change plans to allow global sites to migrate, while maintaining existing BU network summarization, with no impact to BU processes.• Automate network discovery and changes via python scripting using SecureCRT and Netmiko in order to provide error free change procedures.• Perform advanced network triage on GE global network as needed/requested.

• Lead architectural and design discussions around Next Generation Network deployment. Centering on ASR 9000, 9000v, and Nexus 7000. Then deployed to 5 Data Centers across the Midwest.• Completed OSPF\BFD deployment between all of the CoSentry datacenters giving sub second failover between Data Centers, and the centralized Internet egress points• Cleaned up BGP federations between Datacenters to better predict traffic flow, and hidden routing loops• Architected and deployed MPLS L2VPN with LDP between all of Cosentry’s Datacenters. This was primarily to replace the Q-in-Q tunnels used to extend layer 2 between different customer Datacenter instances • Architected and deployed IPv6 between all of Cosentry’s Datacenters using OSPFv3 and BGP IPv6 address-families• Architected and deployed the migrations from multiple Internet egress points to 4 centralized Internet points • Architected and deployed ASR 9006s as core of each datacenter replacing a variety of old equipment. Also the replaced customer access layer switches with ASR 9000v satellites using NV technology tying them to the 9006s.• Architected and deployed VCE vBlock alternative using UCS/Nexus/EMC vnx • Architected and deployed migration for CoSentry’s largest managed customer from Cisco 6500 switches to Nexus 9300.• Lead architectural and design discussions around roll out of Simplivity’s Hyper-converged Omnicube deployment • Acted as a top level escalation point for Service Provider and Corporate network• Lead architectural/design discussions and acted as top level escalation point for MultiBillion dollar customer's network. Including their UCS, Wireless, and MPLS.
