What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on networking role focused on VoIP, cabling, and network security within a collaborative, growth-oriented team, with opportunities to design and secure LAN/WAN infrastructures.

I am a Voice & Data Technician with hands-on experience designing, installing, and maintaining cabling, network hardware and VoIP systems in production environments. At Rollins College I terminate Cat6 and coax, configure switches, manage VLANs, program phone systems (Fuze, 8x8 with Microsoft Teams integration), troubleshoot APC power solutions, and coordinate contractors to meet industry standards.

As an undergraduate researcher I led network and VoIP design for a home-systems project—deploying WAN/LAN topologies, wireless networks, firewall and VPN protections, and cloud-based VoIP integration. I hold networking certificates, use tools such as Wireshark and VMware, assemble and troubleshoot custom systems, and focus on delivering secure, reliable IT solutions that scale.
