Technical Experience (Network Design and Administration)Configure and administer LAN switches, supporting L2 and L3 services. Experience with STP, LAG/LACP and OSPF protocols. Administration experience using switch CLI, shell scripts and SNMP tools including Cacti, MRTG and Smoke ping. Scripting experience using Python, BASH, and JSON RPC over HTML.Marketing:Strategic Marketing:Team with customers and engineering to define product requirements.Manage customer relationships.Promotions and merchandising:Create sales or packaging solutions targeting market segments that enhances sales. Communication and education:Define messaging and author material that educates customers and positions products in their best light. Create collateral for public education and sales/technical training.Technical Experience (Computer Programming)Graphics:Implemented procedural terrain mapping algorithms with smoothing enhancements.Implemented a recursive Mandelbrot algorithm to create trees and shrubs.Implemented algorithms to render topologies in different resolutions based on camera position. Also developed stitching routines to avoid visual artifacts.Texture mapping and procedural (Perlin noise) textures:Created a granite-like texture by layering multiple white noise arrays into a texture map.3D lighting and shading (shadow matrix implementation):Generated real time scene shadows utilizing OpenGL’s depth buffer to create a shadow map. Ray tracing:Created drawable object classes in a C++ demo program which took light source and camera view vectors and returned color values for the objective screen pixel. Position, color and reflectivity states allowed the program to render reflected objects as well.Specialties: Flexible and adaptable in both technical and sales and marketing roles Technical skills in the following:Languages: C, C++, C#, Java, PascalCisco and Arista switching platformsNetwork monitoring tools
