Travis Ford Email & Phone Number

I am a highly analytical professional with a history of enhancing applied infrastructures across highly regulated defense organizations by building, integrating, and simulating tactical systems.I have demonstrated success in establishing seamless connections between system labs, Linux/Windows servers, switches, and hundreds of workstations by architecting/deploying networks.I have been instrumental in providing seamless, secure, and highly available network communications to end-users by supporting virtualization platforms (VMware, ESXi, VirtualBox) and host-based security systems. I am recognized for delivering effective training and guidance that enhanced knowledge of 1000+ army Soldiers on mission-critical systems. Moreover, I have a track record of administering Active Directory, creating Windows server domains, and efficiently managing the Army’s C4I and mission command systems for the 140A Command and Control Systems Integrator Schoolhouse. Below are some snapshots of my signature accomplishments:✔ Yielded $1.5M+ in total revenue by leading the bid and proposal team to win a five-year contract with the Air Defense Airspace Management schoolhouse for 2 lines of efforts. ✔ Built 21 ADAM/BAE labs with full suite of tactical systems on customer off-the-shelf hardware that drove $1M cost savings.✔ Deployed and managed two separate Windows server domains with domain policy execution, DNS, and DHCP services.✔ Developed innovative program of instructions (POI) from scratch for all aviation courses taught in the 140A Schoolhouse. ✔ Created system configuration booklets for overall courses taught in the Army's 140A command and control systems integrator courses on Ft. Sill, OK. The booklets streamlined the use of tactical software within the managed network.Please feel free to contact me at Travis.l.Ford4@gmail.com with any thoughts, comments, or questions about my work—I’m always interested in making new professional acquaintances.
