Teaching Computer Networks II (CS2690). The course covers OSI layers 3,4,5,6. We cover IPv4, IPv6, ARP, DHCP, TCP, UDP, Base 64, JPEG, MPEG, Compression, and Cryptography.Teaching Computer Networks III (CS4610). This cource covers advanced routing techniques used for global Internet routing

Create new procedures for the networking Engineering and Operations teams for the enablement of 3rd party DDOS services. Evaluate and propose modifications to both global and private routing policies across all on-prem, cloud, and remote POP locations. Ansible based automation of PaloAlto and F5 hardware and software based appliances for new product deployment. Assist with the deployment of new hardware switches and routers to replace end-of-life equipment. Led training sessions of current staff, both network and development, in networking concepts and protocols.

Aided in the acquisition of video signals from multiple partners using private lines, SRT, Zixi, and OBE. Contributed SSM code to several (c, c++, and rust) open source projects relating to video acquisition and distribution. Wrote a C++ based application to capture, modify, and analyze SDI video frames to detect and alert on frozen video content. Created a C based mpeg-ts parser which logs available SCTE35 ad placement opportunities. Managed network switches, routers, firewalls, and load balancers in 8 datacenter facilities across the US, utilizing hardware from Paloalto, F5, Arista, Brocade (Extreme, and Ruckus). Designed a greenfield network design for two datacenter facilities which has not had a customer impacting network outage in 4+ years. These networks included hardware from Paloalto, F5, Arista, and Ruckus. Managed over 700Gbps aggregate Internet bandwidth and the BGP policy required to route all 8 data centers nationally. Created a, from scratch, distributed bandwidth graphing system utilizing sFlow, influxdb, rabbitmq, grafana which stores 10s data for each network interface, along with load balancer and firewall statistics. Created a distributed tool using elastic, logstash, kibana, kafka, and zeek to analyze and log all bandwidth egressing our datacenter facilities which replaced our expensive extrahop deployment in each facility.

Managed all network operations for Endurance International - West, including the main datacenter transiting 65Gbps peak usage to the Internet. Managed a team of two Senior level peers and 4 Junior level employees. Complete redesign of the legacy network from a pair of Cisco 6509 edge to a Spine/Leaf architecture with Juniper MX routers at the edge and Arista Networks switches throughout. Deployed Brocade ADX load balancers to replace custom inhouse solution. Built IPSec tunnels to remote datacenters using linux network namespaces. In process of replacing Juniper Netscreen and Sonicwall firewalls with PaloAlto Networks firewalls. Led a weekly network training class for the Systems Teams (CCNA content). Led various trainings to help Junior engineers to improve their skillsets.

I am the senior network architect at L-3 Communications - Communication Systems West. My duties at L-3 included the L-3 enterprise wide area network which interconnected 100+ divisions. I re-architected the routing policy across the MPLS based provider cloud to better facilitate divisional failover through the main egress points. I engineered a new method for L-3 to aggregate network spaces toward the Internet using a combination of OSPF and BGP (replacing the legacy RIP installation). I also developed a PHP/MySQL based IP address management tool which could track our overlapping IP address space across the enterprise. This tool was fully ipv6 compliant and automated IP subnetting and supernetting to any bit length.I also re-designed the local LAN from the ground up using Brocade MLX equipment and utilizing MPLS l3vpns to segregate traffic from different internal entities. This network replaced the aging 6500 stretched vlan architecture which had been in use for the previous 7+ years. I developed vlan management code which operated onboard an Arista Networks 10gig switch for use in customer labs for vlan configuration.

Core developer on the project

At KeyLabs we used RadViews WebLoad product to load and stress test customer websites. Scripts for WebLoad were javascript based scripts which downloaded web content and verified page loads. Post test we would collate the data into a report for our customers showing deficiencies in their architectures and pages.Also at KeyLabs I was the IT manager overseeing the Internet OC3 connection and internal router and switch configuration. It was also my responsibility to maintain the security, phone, voicemail, email, and image server resources. While in this role I rewrote the aging test tracking system into modern PHP/MySQL which allowed our customers to better track where product was in its test cycle.

I was a lab monkey in the SuperLab at Novell. As a monkey we swapped hardware and imaged machines to be configured per testing requirements from our internal and external customers. While there I helped write a new lab management tool in Delphi which helped the lab manager fill and maintain reservations across the 1000+ physical machines.
