## About

```text
At GoTab, I create and manage a centralized organization for 300+ managed networks. I build network infrastructure for POS hardware with network security and classifications for PCI compliance.

I also provision site-wide networks from templates, configure routers, switches, access points, and firewalls, and troubleshoot network security issues. I develop customer documentation and provide end-user training on solutions.

At Hilton Hotels & Resorts, I assisted with network infrastructure deployments and monitored network upgrades. I also helped assess, plan, design, and implement network and security solutions, including routing, switching, VPNs, and security policies.

Earlier, at Washington University in St. Louis, I assisted with an E911 network design and deployment with VoIP integration. I also worked on network migrations, EIGRP troubleshooting, and upgrades to more than 500 network devices.
