About

As a Senior Network Engineer at Red Bison Technology Group, I leverage my 20+ years of hands-on network implementation, design, and troubleshooting experience to deliver high-quality solutions for our clients. I hold the CCNP, NSE5, and PSE certifications, and I am proficient in network security, communication, and route/switch technologies.

My expertise lies in managing and optimizing multi-vendor medium/large-scale corporate and production networks, ensuring their security, reliability, and performance. I also have strong skills in monitoring and controlling network and server operations, as well as conducting pre-sales, discovery interviews, security risk assessments, and audits. My goal is to provide exceptional service and support to our customers, and to continuously learn and grow as a network engineer.

Projects

  • InfraSCRUM

    Introduced the SCRUM methodology to the infrastructure team to manage project work. The team now uses Microsoft Team Foundation Server and the SCRUM process to manage all their project work. Creating this change has heightened the teams focus, increased their ability to complete projects, allowed for better project reporting, and given me a tool to understand work load from week to week.
