Pavel was a System Engineer (SE) on a recent project that I managed to upgrade the wireless LAN

infrastructure at the IBM Almaden location in California. This project included upgrading Cisco wireless

domain switches (2), installing new wireless LAN controllers (2) and migrating from IOS Wireless

Access Points (WAPs) to controller based access points (115). Pavel joined this project approximately

1 month prior to our cutover and he assumed the SE responsibilities without missing a beat. Pavel

pre-tested the new Wireless LAN VLANs to ensure that our cutover would be successful. On the

cutover weekend, Pavel joined each of the new APs to the controllers, addressed any issues that

came up and ensured that the network was production ready. I have also called upon Pavel to assist

with the resolution of complex network problems and to implement emergency configuration changes

for our IBM customer. Pavel has a vast technical knowledge and he applies it to any project that he is

assigned to. He is always professional and completes his tasks on time and error free. Pavel is an

oustanding contributor to any team that he works with.

Hanna Torre, PMP COLLEAGUE

Pavel is extremely intelligent and dedicated worker. He is very knowledgeable about the network

infrastructure that was being put into the IBM Boulder Data Center and quickly picks up on new

technology. He is looked to as a subject matter expert by other peers and he can always be relied on

to do an excellent, thorough job. Pavel was a pleasure to work with and a valuable asset to anyone's

team.

Michael McCormick COLLEAGUE

Working with Pavel is a true pleasure, his technical experience and professionalism is second to none.

I highly recommend Pavel.

Miklos Sragner COLLEAGUE

Pavel was the lead engineer in our team, during our time working together he displayed superb

ownership and attention to his work, always exceeding in his tasks to provide a seamless and early

resolution experience for our customers. regularly participated in training and mentoring of his junior

colleagues and was a role model for them. A highly dedicated professional as well a great person to

work with, i can recommend Pavel without hesitation to any senior roles.

Nan Pay COLLEAGUE

I have been the project manager on several recent project with Pavel as the Senior Engineer. He is

very detail oriented, with excellent networking and customer facing skills. He is one of those rare

employees who always makes not only a positive contribution, but often is the difference in success

and failure. I would opt to have him on my team for any project.

Jozef Macak COLLEAGUE

Working with Pavel last 3 years, It's difficult to find right words to describe superb work he's done. Far

exceeding expectations on daily basis without doubt. Finding solutions, where everyone else is stuck

in panic. Turning disasters into success.

Pavel has unique combination of Soft skills, Technical expertise, Dedication and Detail orientation. He

was certainly the most recognized person by Client, at&t architecture teams, at&t project office and

people working with him in the team.

Interpersonal skills allowed him to make things happen in situations, where official channels were

simply not an option. Acted as a mentor and trainer for our team, ensuring we always have the right

knowledge in place. Team members saw him as a natural advisor, inviting him to difficult migrations

and Pavel was always ready to be there. Many nights, weekends and extra hours were his daily

bread.

He was not contributing, he was leading pilot projects and new technologies that we’ve deployed in

major datacenters around the globe. Listing datacenter replacement projects with Juniper Q-Fabric,

Cisco Nexus, Cisco ACE, Virtualized Cisco switches and Virtualized Juniper switch solutions.

Addressing issues with external vendors and equipment manufacturers.

Intersection of expertise in different technical fields, enabled him to develop automated management

solution for emerging Wireless environments. Later adopted by multiple at&t teams. Often, he stepped

into such abstract tasks, like asset audits and created tools that completely automated inventory

validation.

Approach to his job and professionalism sets him apart and he becomes guarantee of success to any

assignment.

Without exaggeration, Pavel is the best engineer I had ever worked with.

Debra Dylewski, PMP COLLEAGUE

I worked with Pavel on a project to convert IBM's Data Center network in NY from Cisco to Juniper.

The project was very difficult with very high visibility and risk of causing an outage. Pavel was highly

dependable, and competent. His work was always completed promptly without needed any rework.

He was always available for client meetings.

Terry L Stewart COLLEAGUE

Pavel is an experienced customer-focused AT&T Network Engineer going above and beyond in

support of both the customer and the project team. While working with Pavel on a custom and

complex infrastructure for a IBM internal account he worked many long hours to support this

customer. At the start of the project, the long time IBM Technical Lead left the company with no

technical infrastructure turnover to anyone. Pavel stepped up to understand the complexities of the

custom designed network and helped the customer Account Manager (new), understand their

network environment. Eight (8) months later when the customer had a replacement technical

resource, he stepped up to help the new IBM account technical understand their custom network

environment going above and beyond in order to help this customer for their ongoing success and the

success of the current project. It would be my pleasure to work with Pavel again on any project or any

account.
