Duties, Accomplishments and Related Skills:
Responsible for the installation, repair and configuration of network Communication/Data equipment, systems and cabling infrastructures in accordance with NEC, EIA/TIA 568A standards and the Florida Electrical Contractor's Board standards.
Provided commercial and government project management services for the installation of network cabling infrastructure to support data and telecommunications networks to meet the customers need.
Key accomplishments:
(1) Integrate 3 LAN, which were located at three different physical locations into a single MAN utilizing Cisco wireless Aironet products, routers and switches. This integration supported O'brien-Kreitzberg Inc. performance in the successful completion of the Ft. Lauderdale Airport expansion project.
(2) Integrated/installed a Cisco 3600 series router, installed/configure a Linux Server, and installed a Bellsouth 56k data circuit at an International customer's Miami, Florida’s Data Center, which enabled the home office in the United Kingdom to remotely custom configure their network hardware/software to meet their needs.
(3) Responded to an emergency service call from Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) due to their inoperable cruise ship in Bermuda, within 4 hours, I was in transit to Bermuda. Upon arrival in Bermuda discussed the ship’s problem and formulated a plan of action with the chief engineer and the ship’s captain. Chief engineer suspect a bad fiber optic connection from the ship's Engine Room to the Bridge, which cause a loss of control/maneuvering of the ships engines from the bridge. With assistance from the ship’s crew, I was able locate and repair a broken fiber optic cable strain located on the ship’s bridge in their primary data network cabinet. NCL ship’s navigation and controls system was successfully tested and operational verified within approximately 2 hour of arrival.
(4) Transition a client’s campus wide computer network from copper backbone inter/intra building cables and hubs to fiber optic backbone inter/intra building cables and network switches which greatly improved network performance, business cost, and safety of personnel and equipment due to the high probability of network outages and equipment damage during thunderstorms.

Security Clearance: SECRET and Top SECRET [10/1981 to 01/1993]
Senior Communication Technician/Shift Supervisor [contractor on USAF Space Command contract]
Duties, Accomplishments and Related Skills:
Responsible for the real-time operation and maintenance of C4I and Data Link Terminal system in support of USAF remote satellite tracking stations located on Guam; Mahe Island, Seychelles; Vandenberg AFS, CA; and New Boston AFS, NH.
Performed operations and maintenance of a 10 meter ground station tracking, telemetry and commanding satellite antenna system.
Obtained both Top Secret and Secret level security clearances needed to perform duties.
Manually configured satellite transmission and receiving equipment such as bit synchronizers, demodulators, RF receivers, antenna control unit, modems, sub carrier oscillators, command formatter and a 200-watt linear TWT transmitter. Located and tracked pre-selected DOD satellites for the purpose of command transmission, test/ evaluation, data transfers, and retrieval of satellite payload telemetry.
Performed technical control services which included implementing software/ hardware configuration changes on data and voice communications systems to enhance communication service to fit the customer’s needs.
Assisted the facility Senior Engineer in quality assurance and acceptance testing of contractor installed USAF ECP’s (Engineering Change Proposals) communications systems such as various COMSEC hardware and associated Multiplexers/Modems, SATCOM Receivers, Facility fire/intrusion detection system and Secure/Unsecure facility telephone system.
Performed corrective maintenance and operator duties on various COMSEC equipment such as KG-13, KW-26, KI-23, KI-1A, KGR-7, KGR-28, KGG-29, KG-30/33/34, KG-81 and KG-84.
Performed COMSEC custodian duties in accordance with applicable DOD/NSA guidelines while at duty station on Mahe Island, Seychelles.
Key accomplishments:
(1) Integrated SATCOM feeds/data circuits from Diego Garcia, Hawaii, and California into the local country of Seychelles telephone network to support an emergency USAF humanitarian mission of providing medical expert knowledge to a local healthcare providers treating a Soviet Diver suffering from the bend in a Russia Ship's decompression chamber in Victoria, Seychelles harbor. The telecom link and medical advice from experts supported medical staff on the ship with little or no experience in treatment of this condition. The implementation of this SATCOM link during less than ideal atmospheric conditions from solar flares which disrupted and rendered our SATCOM link unusable during the medical procedure, required quick and out of the box actions by me, which resulted in a stable SATCOM link, which enable medical experts to recommend the proper treatment to save the life of the Russian diver.
(2) While on duty at New Boston AFS, my corporate engineering department requested my assistance in resolving a problem with a newly installed ECP (Engineering Change Proposal). The local engineering staff had exhausted all of their solution but could not solve the problem with the ECP. The ECP installed new hardware such as COMSEC gear, Multiplexer, associated interconnect wiring such as patch panels, IDF and MDF wiring harness. The ECP was not able to successfully integrate the SATCOM terminal equipment. I promptly review the ECP to ensure it was a feasible plan, then verified the hardware was correctly configured, then verified interconnect wiring was satisfactory installed. I then focus on developing an operation procedure for both our local Communication/SATCOM personnel and the remote location Communication/SATCOM personnel. Through initiation/testing of a cause and effect matrix, I was able to isolated system operation parameters and establish an operational procedure which was validate by our corporate engineering staff and formally accepted by the client, the USAF. Within approximately 2 weeks after implementation, we had an unexpected visit at midnight from a NSA official, curious about how I was able to develop the operation procedure, and then graciously informed me that my procedure revealed a classified defect with the COMSEC hardware, which was unknown to me during development of the operation procedure. The NSA official stated since the data has layers of encryption, this was not an incident, nothing was compromise, they are always curious when someone discover something which involves national security.
