Computer Network Engineering Professor
• Led a network security project uncovering critical vulnerabilities in 33.3% of microcomputers via Nessus analysis; facilitated immediate Windows security updates to prevent WannaCry ransomware attacks, significantly enhancing overall cyber resilience.• Developed projects with funding agencies for the acquisition of equipment and computational resources for the university and its laboratories, resulting in annual savings of USD 25,000.• Developed LAN network strategies incorporating more than 14 VLANs, EtherChannel, and RSTP, aligned with the university's goals, ensuring infrastructure engineering to support operations and resolve broadcast issues.• Spearheaded the creation of 'ROME' (Root Measure), an open-source software using Java, OpenCV, and JavaCV, which revolutionized root measurement in agronomy by reducing license costs by USD 4,000 and analysis time by 56.65%.• Designed, developed, and simulated more than 30 network projects involving routing and switching in laboratory environments using Cisco Packet Tracer, EVE, and GNS3.• Designed IPv4 addressing standardization with over 16 subnets across university departments and buildings using Cisco and Extreme switches, routers, wireless access points, and computers, resulting in a 60% decrease in network troubleshooting time.• Supervised and trained approximately 100 students per semester in Cisco and Extreme devices, emphasizing training, performance evaluation, and goal setting, specifically on the RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS routing protocols.• Managed methodologies to improve the university's network performance and security, including implementing cybersecurity policies, configuring traffic monitoring tools like Nagios and Wireshark, and resolving performance issues.• Developed 2 computer programs and algorithms for digital image enhancement. Implemented computer programs and protocols for root assessment technology in agricultural engineering.
