• Worked extensively with creating visio diagrams on existing legacy networks and identifying gaps from standards that needed to be resolved. • Commended for quickly resolving complex issues including system crashes, network slowdowns, connectivity problems, security breaches, virus infections and more. • Configured Nexus 5k, Nexus 7k and Arista switches in order to standardize them according to the new regional data center design • Created detailed port matrixes for how switches would be cross connected via multi-mode fiber within the data center. This included specifying which SFP and SFP+ modules and fiber jumper cables were needed • Utilized SNMP and Netflow based probes in PRTG to monitor utilization across various data centers located across the country and created a remediation list of circuits that needed to be re-sized • Created change control documentation and submitted for approvals including creating detailed MOPs for peer review prior to implementation • Worked extensively with routing policy updates throughout the Charter backbone involving BGP and ISIS • Performed design, implementation and troubleshooting of Netscout TAP infrastructure (packet brokers, TAPs etc) at various data centers • Migrated from Layer 2 to Layer 3 on distribution layer Nexus infrastructure along with configuring management network and BGP peering to Core • Worked extensively with Core routing updates including BGP communities and route maps to peer with Cisco ASR and Arista switches • Created all relevant documentation including MOPs, Visio Diagrams, Cut Sheets and IP Addressing layouts related to project
