Developed standardized network architecture across four geographically diverse locations, streamlining operational support and accelerating business initiatives while implementing scalable solutions for Multicast, PTP, Dante audio, and TaaS over OT/IT networks.

Developed templated configuration packages and a nationwide backbone using Equinix and Cisco Nexus to reduce carrier costs and accelerate site deployments; led nationwide ISE 2.7 deployment for 802.1x and pxGrid and managed contractor teams for standardization.

Designed AWS and on-premise architectures to mitigate datacenter outages and improved wireless stability by migrating Aruba to Mobility Master; automated GlobalProtect and 802.1x provisioning scripts to streamline MacOS onboarding and troubleshooting.

Built deployment templates to accelerate new location onboarding, migrated identity management from NPS to Cisco ISE to improve redundancy and reporting, and developed BC/DR plans including an off-site data center for business continuity.

Provided tier-3 escalation for multiple campuses, documented McGregor logical and physical network designs for remote support and modernization, and supported datacenter migration from Cisco Nexus 7000 to Arista 7500 series.

Executed remediation to align infrastructure with vendor and security best practices, eliminated single points of failure to improve datacenter resiliency, and provided tier-3 escalation and mentoring for support and project delivery.

Defined technology direction and managed teams delivering competing Cisco and Juniper datacenter solutions, coordinated datacenter migrations, and allocated resources to match skills with sales, implementation, and support needs.

Designed and migrated elastic datacenters using Cisco Nexus and Catalyst platforms with OTV/vPC/VSS and deployed redundant secure wireless solutions while developing DR/BC strategies and technology roadmaps aligned with business goals.

Led network infrastructure projects for clients from single-office to Fortune 100, directing teams through complex integrations, preparing consultants for customer challenges, and supporting pre-sales efforts.

Provided pre- and post-sales design support to migrate organizations from legacy devices to modern network and datacenter solutions, enabling smoother transitions and deployment consistency.

Upgraded and standardized network design for headquarters and campuses using Cisco routing and switching, and implemented logging, monitoring, and device access accounting to meet regulatory and operational requirements.

Developed carrier-agnostic WAN designs for multinational clients, created repeatable deployment plans for third-party implementers, and supported sales with defended technical solutions.

Improved environment performance by migrating development services to a blended Linux/Solaris/Windows stack and established VPNs for secure client demonstrations and confidential data transmission.

Professional summary and extensive professional experience in network and systems design, architecture, and engineering across multiple companies and roles.
