I worked with Rob while we both worked in Network Engineering roles at Charter. Rob's

Programming and strong Network Engineering skills were extremely helpful in getting our

Team started creating network auditing and automation capabilities.

Exams:

I have taken and passed the CCNA and the JNCIA-WX.

I'm currently studying to take the CISSP, and attending CSN for my associates.

Just consulted a company, on the new emergence of 5G at a large scale, security needs to be dynamic and automated in order to accommodate the scope and potential speeds of 5G networks. More than just another increase in speed, 5G is designed ultimately to imbue the network with new capabilities.
