• Thousands of hours of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and managing enterprise-scale networks throughout my career, spanning the full evolution from early Cisco Catalyst environments to today's modern Aruba and HPE infrastructure; this includes complete ownership of campus fiber plants, where I've handled the management, documentation, testing, and repair coordination required to keep large physical networks reliable and well-mapped.

​

• Deep, well-rounded expertise across both wired and wireless networking, having worked through every generation of the technology—from early low-density wireless systems to large-scale 1:1 deployments encompassing thousands of access points and many thousands of switch ports distributed across hundreds of locations, all centrally managed for consistent performance, visibility, and control.

​

• Strong command of network security and access control, including the deployment of ClearPass for identity-based policy enforcement, extensive work with Palo Alto firewalls for segmentation and threat protection, and the design and ongoing management of complex VLAN architectures that bring order and security to sprawling multi-site environments.

​

• Proven experience operating private wide-area networks that interconnect multiple districts and organizations, delivering fast, secure, and resilient connectivity between sites while maintaining the centralized oversight needed to troubleshoot and optimize traffic across the entire footprint.

​

• A consistent focus on resilience, scalability, and clean infrastructure, demonstrated through the design of redundant network paths, the installation and management of point-to-point wireless links for failover and remote connectivity, and a career-long commitment to building networks that are reliable, well-documented, and ready to grow.
