TECHNICAL AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE (Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.,

acquired The 401(k) Company in 2007):

. Designed and implemented a redundant core routing/switching

environment using Cisco Catalyst 6509 devices in our Austin and Denver

Datacenters with redundant WAN circuits (2010).

. Served as Technical Lead of a project team that moved equipment for

approximately 400 users out of a downtown facility to a north Austin

location which has saved the company considerably in real estate

costs. Also had to decommission and safely dispose of a datacenter

and all the servers, voice, and network equipment within. This

project involved a lot of engineering in the form of new and re-

groomed circuits, routing changes, new servers, new network equipment,

etc. to maintain 100% availability before, during, and after the move.

Met a hard deadline which avoided expensive fees that a delay would

have incurred (2009).

. Served as Technical Lead of a project team that migrated approximately

400 user mailboxes from The 401(k) Company email servers to Schwab

email, blackberry, and chat servers. Significant mail routing changes

were required since so many applications used our mail services. Also

archived and eliminated pst data files and retired the 401k email

infrastructure (2008).

project. Worked through a myriad of issues with Infosys Consultants

to move all user and computer accounts, security groups, etc. from the

401k domain to the Schwab domain (2007).

. Designed and implemented migration to Schwab security standards

involving the installation of Marimba on all workstations for patch

management (BigFix for servers), McAfee antivirus, Credant for laptop

hard drive encryption, and Computrace for theft/loss recovery of

laptops (2007).

. Designed and implemented a more secure and redundant Citrix SSL VPN

and Citrix Presentation Server environment to replace the Microsoft

VPN for remote access (2006).

. Designed and implemented a fault tolerant secure email system to

integrate with Exchange and our Client-facing websites using Talisma,

Doubletake (OneSwitch), and Microsoft SQL Server (2006).

. Implemented mail archival, spam/virus blocking, and the Emergency Mail

System with Smarsh and MessageOne (2006).

. Implemented replication of all Microsoft Exchange and SQL servers

using Doubletake software and the MessageOne OneSwitch add-on service

for seamless failover and failback (2006).

. Implemented replication of all Windows file servers using Doubletake

Software.

. Replaced legacy FTP server with the much more secure Enhanced File

Transfer server by Globalscape which supports SFTP, HTTPS, FTP, and

PGP encryption/decryption along with notification emails and file

copies/moves via automated rules.

. Configured and maintained Microsoft Exchange 2003, 2000 and 5.5

Servers, including migration.

. Creation of redundant SMTP gateway servers in multiple locations using

IIS with Mail Essentials anti-spam and virus protection software.

. Installed and configured Blackberry Enterprise Server for Exchange and

installed/managed handheld units for approximately 80 users.

Catalyst 6509 Switches with redundant route switch modules at multiple

datacenters housing our mission-critical applications and servers.

. Established site-to-site IPSec VPN's with client and partner companies

using Cisco Pix firewalls and Cisco 3600 and 2600 series routers.

. Installed and configured a Catalyst 6009 switch with redundant route

switch modules. Migrated LAN from one flat private IP address scheme

to a multi-subnetted network using VLAN's across multiple switches via

a common VTP domain.

. Coordinated and implemented installation of DS3 and DS1 internet and

point-to-point circuits with multiple vendors using the following

equipment: Cisco routers and firewalls, Nokia IP650 running Firewall-

1/VPN-1, and Lucent Bricks.

. Worked in a team to establish a change management and helpdesk

solution for the software development side of the company and our own

department using IBM Rational Clearquest and Microsoft SQL Server.

Specifically, my role was to install and maintain the server and

develop the application it hosted using a GUI development environment

and Visual Basic.

. Designed and implemented a MS Systems Management Server site. This

allowed for hardware and software inventory, remote control, and

software distribution on all network clients and servers.

. Disaster recovery of mission critical servers on several occasions.

. Implemented virus protection and automatic virus definition updates on

all servers and workstations using Symantec Antivirus and McAfee

Netshield/Groupshield.
