EMPLOYMENT

Leon Medical Centers

Telecommunications Manager

Oversaw entire telecommunications department including 4 direct report telecom engineers. Systems included an Avaya S8730 supporting 9 locations and 2 large call centers leveraging Avaya Aura and heavy vectoring of which I worked with on a daily basis.

6/2011 – 8/2012

Alorica

Senior Telecommunications Engineer

Once again I had the pleasure of working for PRC which was later acquired by Alorica. I provided day to day support of client driven call route logic changes on an enterprise wide Avaya TDM and VoIP S8700 phone system. Hundreds of circuits would provide connectivity to on and off-shore accounts and each engineer was assigned a group of accounts to maintain and create VDN/Vector logic as they came in via service request. Avaya CMS would provide all reporting with also having the requirement of running the monthly administrative backup which I would run after hours. A blend of Intuity Audix and Modular Messaging was our voice mail solution.

3/2008 – 8/2010

Assurant

Network Design Engineer

As a design engineer, my core responsibilities were to create new voice and data infrastructure designs for our integration teams to implement and support while I managed the project and assured my design was carried out. This includes modifications to existing networks as well as completely new LAN/WAN networks consisting of Cisco routers, switches, gateways, and multiple voice networks. I was responsible for the design and integration of large Cisco and Avaya phone systems, including the use of both as a hybrid solution. I would work with business entities across the globe in an effort to integrate business partner networks as well as new acquisitions. I used my in-depth knowledge of Cisco IP Telephony and multiple Avaya voice systems to design an infrastructure that would work with each other. This also includes business partner MPLS VPN designs to support the business needs. I’ve done multiple site moves from brand new to parallel networks in an effort to support a multi-phased move without down time using multiple MPLS circuits to each site. I’ve built call centers using Cisco UCCE with ICM scripting and Unity messaging on multiple levels.

I approve specific invoices relating to vendor relations and provide recommendations to our call center call flow structure. I do some IPCC Enterprise call flow scripting at the top level of the infrastructure linking to the core call flow scripts currently in the heart of the system. I deal with vendors for support related items as well as future projects developing on a daily basis. I configure hundreds of toll-free numbers coming in to the Call Manager and route them accordingly to route points and directory numbers.

I supported 2 large CMS servers requiring daily backups for reporting. I also did circuit installs for major accounts like DIRECTV, Nextel, and FedEx for inbound/outbound calling. I managed telecom portions of projects pertaining to new accounts that come in, such as new circuit installs, building of trunk groups, PBX programming for new call flow, vectors, skills, and announcements required by the clients.

Implementation of new call-center/ACD environments with custom reporting via CMS Centreview. Daily administrative backups of CMS and a monthly full system backup are also done. Cross-connects and punch downs are done as needed. I worked with several vendors like SBC and AT&T for special corporate office projects such as a 400 user deployment in Aliso Viejo, California, Orlando, FL, and Miami, FL.
