PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
Network Engineer / Consultant, Advanticom, Pittsburgh, PA
Jun 2012 – Present (Jun 2012 – Aug 2012, Contract to Hire via Beacon Hill)
Engineer IT network infrastructure supporting Pittsburgh-based small to mid-sized companies in various industries.
Duties include consulting with these various clients to implement secure, best-practice, network configurations to
primarily include firewalls (ASA, SonicWALL, WatchGuard), routers, and switches (Cisco, Brocade, Dell, HP).
Accomplishments:
Performed under high stress after becoming the lone network engineer/consultant on staff only two weeks after
starting the position. This situation remained for almost six months but project and service work remained
profitable as a strong work ethic was demonstrated to keep the team successful. Advanticom’s appreciation was
proven by cutting the contract-to-hire period short to establish permanent placement.
Engineered a Disaster Recovery (DR) solution for a mid-sized company to include switching infrastructure
upgrades. The project included replacing a number of end-of-life Cisco Catalyst switches with Brocade ICX
devices. After complete, the switching aggregate bandwidth to the server farm was upgraded to 40Gbps. Using
existing fiber between the sites, a 20Gbps link was established to the DR location. The customer now has a robust
production network along with a great DR solution.
Sr. LAN/WAN Technologist, Raytheon Corporation, State College, PA
Sep 2010 – Jun 2012
Managed the Raytheon State College classified network environment working with a multi-disciplined team of
infrastructure professionals to provide standardized network support to the entire IIS Business Unit across various
sites across the country. Responsibilities include providing project leadership, design, engineering, installation, and
sustainment of multiple classified network environments.
Accomplishments:
Upgraded firewall at the point of presence of one major classified network at the State College site. The effort
included extensive engineering / planning / installation. The network now has an A/S redundant pair of Cisco ASAs.
Played critical role in efforts to consolidate the Raytheon State College workspace into one central located building.
This included working with ISPs and Gov’t service providers to move all Points of Presence to the new location as
well as working with infrastructure cabling vendors to upgrade cabling to house more employees.
