EXPERIENCE
|
Thirty-One Gifts, 2011 -
Present
Lead
Data Network Engineer
Designed,
managed and monitored a highly-available network supporting corporate needs,
call center needs and manufacturing/warehousing needs. The network consisted
of primarily Cisco routing, switching, wireless and firewalling as well as F5
load balancing. WAN links were mostly gigabit speeds. Policy-based routing
(PBR) was used to service latency-sensitive traffic, such as VOIP.
Traditional routing was used to service less-sensitive data traffic,
leveraging less expensive WAN links. Oversaw the design and implementation of
the network for eight different company sites. Designed and implemented a PCI
environment which hosted several web sites servicing 80,000 Consultants and
tens of thousands of concurrent users on highly-available infrastructure. Supported
annual National Conference by coordinating requirements for wired PCI network
for POS systems and wireless requirements for company staff. Worked directly
with in-house web developers to provide highly-available web applications to
internal clients as well as to our Consultants and to the public. Designed
and implemented a total of 48 development environments -- all of which were
mini copies of production, all of which were behind an F5 load balancer – for
developers to use for developing, testing and troubleshooting. Leveraged the
use of IOT to reduce software licensing and electricity consumption in the
manufacturing facility.

BelronUS/Safelite Auto
Glass, 2004 - 2011
Data
Network Engineer
Manage,
monitor and maintain an enterprise-wide mixed-vendor data network spread
throughout the U.S. The network consists of 5,000 users, two data centers,
three large call centers, 85 small call centers and 344 retail stores. The
locations are connected with a mixture of MPLS circuits and Internet VPN
tunnels. The backbone consists of four layer-3 switches, split between the
two data centers in a redundant fashion using two switched OC12 hand-offs.
Both data centers have an equal Internet presence to provide for redundancy
for VPN-connected retail stores and users as well as third-party VPNs and
corporate web portals which are also used by third-party partners and require
24/7 availability. OSPF is used at the core as well as at the edge. BGP is
used on the MPLS network as well as at the Internet hand-offs. Cisco, Juniper
and Fortinet products are employed on the network to provide a best-of-breed
solution.
