What I'm looking for

I'm open to senior network consulting, architecture, or leadership opportunities.

At Guardian Life, I led a zero-downtime core upgrade from Cisco Catalyst 4507 to 9407 across 2,500+ endpoints, achieving 99.999% availability with zero post-upgrade incidents. I’ve also managed 400+ high-impact changes with less than 0.1% unplanned downtime.

I modernized wireless infrastructure, reducing incidents by about 50%, and designed AWS Workspace connectivity that reduced latency by 40 ms. Earlier, at Accenture, I led network design and migration initiatives and authored technical designs and runbooks.
