I continue to attend schooling and training that will be of benefit to any company. I possess Project Management experience with the communication skills required to interact with all levels of management

Completed CompTIA and CCNA classes with final score of 97.34%. I am presently studying for CCNP Certification and Cisco Umbrella Security training

Worked on FPGA (Field programmable gate arrays) at ASU- Video graphics processors to achieve

Maximum fuel efficiency for large passenger aircraft with ASU team.

Developed complex program and prototype circuitry/hardware for an experimental vehicle registered under the Experimental Vehicle, Safety Division (DMV) of Nevada (Experimental Vehicle 53)

Skills Profile

2000-Present:

LAN/WAN placement, deployment and configuration Fiber Optic Connections, including splicing

Multi-mode / Single-mode fiber optic/Copper Network-SFP GLC-MMD, GLC-SMD, GLC-T devices MOE (Metro over Ethernet) circuits, LIU installation and design

Design floor plan, installed and configured 100’s of Cisco WAPS ( Meraki ) with assistance from Wireless engineer and AP controller software

Configuration of VLANS and VRF, Spanning tree, Frame relay, FTTP, use of Wireshark

I can configure routers and switches right out of the box, Local Area networks are within the building primarily, the firewalls I have used mostly are PIX from Cisco (871) and Palo Alto (panorama setup) IPsec to setup site to site VPN connections and requires less than 10 command lines on each router, DMVPN (dynamic multipoint) is an alternative to more (less scalable) VPN's, hence less expensive. All VPN's provide more security inherently but are not invincible.

Simple to complex analog cross connections, all bud sets, toners, cat5/6e testers,

Proper handling of electronic components A+ Certification

High speed data installation and troubleshooting, CAT 5E-6 cabling, Time Domain

Reflectometers (TDR’s), Legacy equipment, routers, Intelligent programmable hubs, multilayer

switches, layer 3 switches

Testing and Calibration
