Programmed wireless clients to authenticate in accordance to the DoD PKI /Common Access Card (CAC) architecture. Directed radio propagation modeling and prediction, interference analysis, frequency coordination, and determination of access point placement based on RF modeling results for each building surveyed. Accurately performed Systems Acceptance Testing (SAT) on all networking equipment selected and identified by the Project Management Office. Conducted quality control (QC) inspections and captured screen shots that demonstrated functional wireless access points for each building being inspected. Proficiently configured Juniper Odyssey Access Client on mobile CK-61 and 700c Intermec Barcode terminals supporting government SATS, GATES, and DMLSS platforms.

Highly recruited to serve as a lead senior engineer on an $83 Million awarded contract to upgrade FBI networks across the country to include 640 Resident Agencies (RA) and 56 FBI Field Offices (FO). Primarily responsible for successful transition from the Asynchronous Transfer Mode(ATM)/Frame Relay(FR) architecture to the newer Internet Protocol(IP)/Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) architecture throughout the entire FBI enterprise. Conducted a massive engineering pilot to duplicate the activities planned for the migration of over 900 private virtual circuits (PVC) currently in the FBI network. The pilot documented risk response plans, and evaluated resource requirements needed for the full migration and implementation effort. This pilot was a major success that ultimately saved the FBI $25K in unforeseen issues. Redesigned and configured the FBI WAN infrastructure, consisting of multiple Serial T1 and Dual Serial DS-3 circuits, Cisco 2811/3825/7204 routers with WAN accelerators, Cisco 6509/4006/3750 switches, CSU/DSU’s, TACLANE Micro encryption devices, and SFP’s/GBIC modules. Personally led a team of four engineers to 42 covert locations nationwide. Successfully configured network encryption, DMVPN tunnels, switched VLANs, and routing protocols in order to “hot cut” circuits to IP/MPLS with Verizon coordination. Tested and accepted the new circuits with Fluke’s EtherScope Series II Network Assistant to ensure that flexible per-region load balancing provided the most secure cost effective network operation.

Handpicked to lead a team of 14 personnel to troubleshoot and resolve a severe network latency affecting 4000+ users. Discovered and applied fix actions which resulted in a 35% increase of overall network performance while minimizing router utilization 37%. Constructed and oversaw a massive gigabit Ethernet backbone upgrade for Balad Air Base Iraq encompassing seven Information Transfer Nodes. Allowed for the first fully redundant fiber backbone and increased speed more than 100%. Directed a secure router network upgrade which saved the Air Force $10K in replacement costs. The new Micro TACLANE gateway design increased communication speed and infrastructure reliability 20%. Established inventory / tracking database for 2,000 devices residing on an $18M network.
