I designed, architected and led the implementation. I met with customers, performed assessments, identified their needs, architected a solution, created the bill of materials, wrote statement of works, created detailed network drawings. I have strong communication skills as well as detailed documentation and am great at technical writing.

Redmond, Wa

Met with customers, identified their requirements, architected a solution, created the bill of materials, wrote statement of works with a detailed implementation plan, created detailed network drawings and systems documentation. Presented the solution to the customer and managed the implementation.Architected a campus redesign of the network backbone for a large hospital in Anchorage, Alaska and supervised the implementation. This required extensive re-cabling and an implementation in a true 24x7 environment. I also architected and oversaw the implementation of a large datacenter upgrade from traditional networking on Juniper to Cisco’s ACI for a large hospital in Renton, WA.Architected a complete network upgrade for a commercial real-estate company with 30 branch offices across 4 states. Performed a network assessment, identified their requirements, architected, and designed an SD-Wan solution focused on security using Palo Alto firewalls and Cisco routers. Presented and sold the solution to the company and managed the implementation.

I met with customers, identified their requirements, architected a solution, created a bill of materials, wrote a statement of work with a detailed project implementation plan, created detailed network drawings, and implemented the solution for the customer. Performed network assessments and created system engineering designs documents for our customers. I have strong interpersonal skills, am very detailed orientated and am a great technical writer.Specific technologies that I’ve implemented include: 1gbs, 10gbs, 40gbs and 100gbs. Nexus 9372, Nexus 7009 & 7010, Nexus 6001 & 6004, Nexus 5548 & 5672 (VPC), Nexus 3048, Nexus 2k (most models). Cisco ACI, Catalyst 6880 VSS, 4500X, 4500E (4510, 4507), 3850/3560/2960X stackable switches. ASA 5512 – 5585X with classic IPS, as well as migration to Firepower services, and Anyconnect VPN with ACS services. I’ve also done designs around zone-based firewalls, Palo Alto security solutions, and DMVPN using ISR G2 and ISR 4400 series routers, and F5 GTM to support disaster recovery requirements. Also worked with various cable standards, CAT5e, CAT6, multi-mode and single-mode fiber.Some examples of complete network upgrades I have architected and implemented include a new datacenter build-out for Stanwood School District, as well as manufacturing, retail, and credit unions.

INX was acquired by Presidio in Nov 2011 for $85million.As an implementation engineer, I was primarily focused on Cisco route/switch and security with a little WiFI and VoIP work.As part of a new 10 story hotel/casino (greenfield), I implemented a pair of Nexu7k's(core), 2960/3560/3750 (distribution/access), vPC, multiple VDC's, EIGRP, and firewalls. Integrated with the existing infrastructure.Cisco Virtual Office Express - Designed, implemented and deployed for an insurance company to support 200 teleworkers. Performed a network assessment for a new 12 story hospital (Providence Hospital, Everett, WA) to identify any issues prior to opening day. Reviewed 6500 VSS, and 4510/3750X access layer configurations, as well as power/cooling requirements. Reviewed L2 and L3 configurations against Cisco best practices.Designed and documented QoS Policy for a medium sized network on 2960/3560/3750/4500/6500 and 7000 platforms to support VDI, WiFI, and VoIP, utilzing DSCP/CoS.Migrated a hospital off inter-vlan routing on a Sonicwall firewall to a 6509 VSS config, utilzing multi-layer switching resulting in a tremendous performance improvement.

August 2010, The Cobalt Group was acquired by ADP for $412 million.Corporate Relocation - Designed/Architected the enterprise network to support 800 associates in 4 floors of a new building. Coordinated with project management on the implementation of how to consolidate two offices into a single, newly renovated office. Worked on bill of materials with Cisco and VAR. Integration - Assisted as necessary with the network integration project, providing connectivity as required.

Network Lead, Architect, and Security (Cisco)• Datacenter - Faced with having to relocate our production datacenter in 90 days, I was directly responsible for architecture and implementation of the network relocation. The new architecture added redundancy and a tremendous amount of scalability to the business. I implemented dual Cisco 6509’s with redundant Sup720’s as a collapsed core, Cisco 7201’s, 3750G’s, 2960’s, ASA 5540 Firewalls with IPS, and F5 BigIP 6400 load balancers. Technologies include layer3 routing (EIGRP & eBGP), GLBP, Policy Based Routing, Multiple STP, and 802.1q. This infrastructure today supports approximately 9000 web sites, half of all the automotive dealerships in the U.S. • Call Center - Upon being awarded a large contract we were faced with hiring 350 people and 120 days to implement. I was directly responsible for architecture and implementation of the network and the Cisco Voice Over IP system which included redundant Call Manager’s, redundant UCC Express, Calabrio call recording, and Unity voicemail to support a 400 node call center. The network is all layer 3 routing (EIGRP) (routed access layer). The network infrastructure is completely redundant in the core and distribution layers for all the VoIP services. • Security - Re-architected the site to site VPN infrastructure of nine locations to be scalable, reliable, and manageable utilizing redundant Cisco ASA firewalls. This required upgrading the existing firewalls from a Pix or Juniper Netscreen to an ASA (5510, 5520 or 5540), implemented Cisco Security Manager. Remote access VPN was completely re-designed to leverage group-policy tied back to Active Directory via AAA for IPSec and SSL VPN on the ASA’s which supports 900 associates. • Experienced leading a team of 3 network engineers for Voice, Data and Network Security. All network implementations are documented in detail using Visio. I negotiate with the telco, Cisco and VAR’s for pricing as well as options.

Network Design and Security (Cisco)• I am experienced in enterprise architecture working in a team of five engineers. The enterprise network supported approximately 8000 users, 350 Windows servers, a mainframe, several Unix/Solaris servers, and VMware, 150 remote stations (Nome to Cancun). I established standards and met with vendors; justified expenditures via a written business case. • NOFEP – Architected a solution to connect to Sabre bypassing their FEP (front end processor) eliminating the need for x.25. Using frame-relay, Cisco 2800 ISR routers, PIX firewalls, Stateful NAT, and EIGRP, I worked with the telco to ensure 100% redundancy between Seattle and Tulsa. I was able to achieve absolute diversity for this mission critical data and migrated 8000 workstations off the IP to X.25 solution.• SHNS OC-48 – Implemented SHNS utilizing an OC-48 ring for five local buildings (campus networking). This expanded the network ensuring years of capacity. Implemented dual 6509 SUP1a w/MSFC’s (upgraded later to Sup720’s). I transitioned the network to core distribution access architecture.• Compliance: Faced with PCI and SOX, I architected and designed network device security which standardized on router/switch configurations and implemented AAA. • Name Services – I architected the internal and external name services to support www.alaskaair.com. Using Win2k DNS and F5 3DNS I was able to support business continuance and disaster recovery. This enabled us to load balance across multiple datacenters and eliminated outages for www.alaskaair.com. • Network Management: Architected a network monitoring solution utilizing Netscout RMON probes, Observer, Wireshark and Solarwinds Orion. This enabled me to identify two application issues within Informix. This saved $54,000 annually.• Automation: I have nine years experience with PERL. I created a NOC web page used to support x.25 leveraging CGI, Apache and Perl to query Cisco routers via SNMP and SSH
