Direct supervision of the departments 2 Security Engineers and Sr. Wireless Engineer; also manage other team leads and network manager's staff and responsibilities as needed because of vacations or work loads.Design cost effective, high performance network solutions for business needs to effectively meet current needs with scalability for future growth. Manage network projects and teams for new installations and deployments which included project planning, budgeting, communications, scope management and installation. Determine budget estimates for network projects including equipment estimates, installation costs and resource costs of labor. Examined multiple switch vendors to determine a suitable cost effective replacement for Cisco switch platforms which has resulted in extensive cost savings to the hospital.Designed a high capacity core network which is replacing a managed services SONET network with a new high capacity DWDM network. This will result in an ROI of less than 3 years with a 20 fold speed improvement to multiple campuses. This new network will support the increasing business needs of a hospital environment with its growing network requirements. It is also scalable to allow for future growth, with the ease of card installations and minimal provisioning to install additional capacity.Designed wireless guest network to support patient and visitor access at multiple campuses in the UMMHC system. Work with Cisco switches and routers, Extreme Networks Switches, A10 load balancers, F5 Load Balancers, Cisco CSS1150x load balancers, Juniper Routers, Ciena 4200 optical transport DWDM equipment, Cisco LWAPP wireless systems, Meru Controller based wireless systems and other network equipment.
