Manages multiple technical projects supporting a global enterprise network. Implements technologies from a wide portfolio of Cisco routing, switching, firewall, and wireless platforms. Skilled in best-practice data center designs using Cisco Nexus physical and virtual switches connecting VMWare/CiscoUCS/HP. Experience with WAN optimization systems, protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and RADIUS as well as MPLS, MetroE, PPP, Frame Relay, DMVPN, and other WAN technologies. Work closely with multiple product and internetworking service vendors worldwide supporting a global network of approximately 150 locations.Recently, I and my team have been transforming the technology landscape here at the firm. We've converted most offices to an all-wireless footprint using Aruba technology and deployed cutting edge SD-WAN technology at more than 100 offices using Viptela's solution. In addition to this, we've re-architected how and where we host and network our data with an incredibly fast move to Amazon Web Services via Equinix's global footrprint. These changes and more by our business technology co-workers have helped our CIO, Dave Neitz, receive the MIT Sloan CIO Leadership Award in 2016.

Worked with multiple clients to design and deploy complete network solutions from branch to data center to specialized point solutions. Routing, switching, security and wireless designs implemented for small (<100 employees) to mid/large customers (>1000 employees) over multiple engagements.

Managed multiple projects that led to the design of content management systems, improvements in metadata management and content classification, as well as print-magazine-to-digital-format conversion processes.
