Network Administration And Security
Recent Project Highlights:In collaboration with two others, I assisted in the design, set-up, and implementation of a small Active Directory domain consisting of two Server 2003 machines, one XP, one Ubuntu, and a Smoothwall firewall server. Engaged in professional dialogue with a network engineer from Likewise to successfully resolve problems preventing the Ubuntu system from joining the domain. In addition, our team wrote a comprehensive security policy for this domain and hardened it against outside attacks by following best practices as outlined in our policy.As part of a six member team, I worked on creating a comprehensive bid to design and build a network from scratch for a small elementary school. Specific areas of responsibility our team managed included: network design (including type, topology, and placement of network specific elements such as cabling, routers and switches); price analysis and comparison; using NAT addressing and border firewalls to protect internal elements; implementation of security best practices to guard network; and creating a visual presentation in order to "sell" our bid.Designed, built and provided ongoing maintenance for a small LAN for two years while attending TSTC. To provide wireless access for up to 5 users at a time, I used a wireless access point with a secure WPA2 setup. Led a project management team in the investigation and documentation of Office Tracker scheduling software for consideration by the college.
