Responsible for construction of the sample task orders used in evaluation of the Connections II acquisition for the General Services Administration (GSA), a telecommunications contract for equipment, labor, building, and campus infrastructure with a $5B ceiling. The task orders were key to the success of the project.Team lead for the telecommunications infrastructure of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF), a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Gold building. The unique building design, the critical nature of the work taking place within it, and the architectural vision led to challenges of resilience and cabling design not found in standard office buildings. The design led to a successful implementation which is on track to support the expected communications requirements for at least this decade.Mr. Swerdlow was a participant or lead in several other telecommunications projects, including work in Call Centers.
