I contributed to the delivery of high-quality services for this electrical utility, cable, phone, and Internet services provider by fulfilling a broad scope of project management and lead engineering roles related to system/equipment design, implementation, maintenance, upgrades/migrations, technical analysis, security, and optimization. • Led the upgrade of a mission-critical tertiary generator ($200,000+ project), supporting BTES primary operations and data center that improved electrical power redundancy, allowed for future power upgrades, and reduced downtime. • Lead Engineer on a project that added standby generators at all substation Point of Presence sites, improving reliability and continuity of services during power outages. • Primary Engineer on geo-redundancy planning for $1 million Meta-Switch Class 5 softswitch and installation project. • Resolved IT security issues and added automated fraud prevention solution that reduced fraud costs from $75,000 in 2013 to under $500 annually. • Designed hosted VoIP template/recipes used in BTES Hosted Voice solutions that improved build/deployment efficiency and reduced time-to-market from 3 weeks to 7 days. • Cut hardware costs by $2,000+ for each Hosted Voice solution that increased marketability and market penetration rates, resulting in 300% increase in VoIP services in 30 months. • Completed a project that included evaluating VoIP call recording solutions, recommending the best option, and overseeing implementation, documentation, and training of staff on the new technology. • Designed MDU triple play (cable, Internet & phone) bundled-services deployment template (new product offering) that was a competitive advantage for BTES. • Assisted with other projects including planning/designing the BTES Wi-Fi solution that currently blankets downtown Bristol; and redesigning/streamlining provisioning and 911 call routing.

I provided comprehensive technical support, hardware upgrades, and troubleshooting, beginning in a Technical Support Specialist role and earning promotions into position as Maintenance Technician. I exceeded performance expectations on a regular basis by ranking Top 5 in production and Top 3 in lowest repeat percentage annually.
