About Rick Bonnell

Entertaining FULLY remote offers only. No entry level roles please. Preferring opportunities with Samsung Knox requirements and devices, which I have specialized in since the Note 1/S3 including coding, testing and fully implementing custom solutions using Knox APIs for fully managed and work profile devices. I also do light single purpose app development.Designed and implemented Dish's Smart Mobility solution - recognized by Information Week as one of the top 20 great ideas to steal in 2013; saved Dish several million dollars. Now testing and implementing Gen 5 Galaxy Note 10+. and XCover Pro. We have been doing secure mobile access for basically forever.. Learned how to leverage Samsung Knox APIs to manage mobile devices at a level that almost eliminates security issues. Helped test and integrate OKTA solutions to allow secure "behind the firewall" access to key IT apps on mobile devices (2FA.)Air Force veteran, Mobility, IT expert with 25+ years total experience, 15+ years current mobility experience as a top tier solutions integrator, systems engineer & problem solver, including wireless, OS, and other issues on Android, Win 10 Surface and Zebra devices. Primary training resource for help desk personnel. Engineered, implemented successful mobility solutions for a Fortune 200 company using Samsung Android devices for 5K+ field users. Some experience evaluating Apple devices for potential deployments. Hands on experience with almost all major MDM/UEM solutions, including producing scorecards for vendor evaluations with a recent focus on VMWare Workspace One.I learn quickly; most things I know I taught myself through self effort and hands on experience.My "value add" is automating processes using scripting technologies and API access, reducing time wasted on repetitive tasks. For example, I created an script to automate staging activities, allowing 8 devices to be staged in the time that 1 device had previously taken. This greatly reduced turnaround time for replacing broken/faulty devices as well as speeding new device setup. Scripting and API integration is my joy.I am known for meticulous attention to detail and ability to craft documentation so simple that your 10 year old could successfully follow it with pictures and every detail completely covered reducing training time.Travel welcomed. I am the ambassador for my solutions and that requires the considerate "in person" approach. I am fully vaxxed, boosted, and have natural immunity via recent COVID infection. I am willing to provide proof on request for the right opportunity.

    Researched, engineered, tested and implemented very high quality and fully remotely supportable android mobility solutions for a Fortune 200 company. Adapted to weekly changes in mobility requirements and delivered enhanced products ahead of schedule in 95% of cases, while the remaining cases under my control met the approved timelines and met or exceeded customer quality expectations. We have been rocking Agile methodologies since 2010. Weekly release? No problem! I can do daily! (and we have done out of cycle daily releases... thanks business partners:))Successfully migrated 5500+ users at 120 national locations from antiquated Windows XP systems to state-of-the-art android devices - Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S4, and now S10+ and Note 10+! Through self-study, became the local expert on Samsung KNOX technology that provided unsurpassed IT control of mobile devices and was ultimately approved and deployed. Discovered, tested and fully vetted the vendors used for remote control, mobility device management, navigation and driver safety of android devices deployed to mobile technicians. Formally recognized by IT senior leadership as "Key Contributor" to the mobile device roll-out.When no suitable "task killer" apps were available in the mobile market that would not allow users to defeat our security software, I designed and deployed a custom android app to fulfill the required functionality.I now have authored and maintained multiple key business apps covering business contacts, business bookmarks and many other apps streamlining key business functions. Even simple things like a flashlight triggered by the Bixby button. Tell me what you need, it is probably possible.
