Supported Google's Enterprise customers who used the Google Search Appliance. Routinely diagnosed customer's TCP/IP networks, many of them Fortune 500 companies. This included capturing traffic, analyzing it to determine the problem, and then creating a solution. Also created time saving automations.Some of the technologies I worked with and trouble shot in this role included: Linux, Kerberos, Single Sign On (SSO) Products (Oracle, Netegrity, SiteMinder), SSL and SSH, and every Web Server imaginable. Much of this work was "problem reproduction/figuring it out" and providing a solution to the end customer, and working with our development team, if needed, for a formal patch. Successfully resolving these issues meant understanding the basics of networking, TCP/IP, HTTP, authentication, Web Standards but then using creativity to determine a root cause.Some additional responsibilities included configuring, trouble shooting and performing node replacements for the GB-8008 (12-node clusters) for Google’s largest customers onsite, including Government agencies. During my tenure at Google I was also selected to travel to multiple European offices to help out with the foreign work load and train new hires.Additionally, my favorite projects were centered around eliminate manual work for my team members - I scripted a data mining tool for an in-house CRM application to save several hours per team member and to avoid "lots of typing and clicking" for each of them.Finally, I also wrote a great amount of internal documentation, as most of the procedures that I performed were either newly discovered, or as yet undocumented.
