Senior Optical Network Engineer
Lead design engineer for the 30 million dollar city wide fiber optic network. Acted as expert engineer to review SONET equipment from Cisco, Lucent, Nortel, Fujitsu, Alcatel, NEC, Calix, and Redback. Received specific onsite certification and training on SONET products. Tasked to design the Fiber topology, SONET layer, VOIP, VLAN and MPLS architecture for the DC Net project. Cisco 2600, 3600, 7200, 7300, 7600, 10720, 12406 routers and 2950, 3500, 3550, 6500 catalyst switches were used for the layer 2/3 switching and routing. An extremely large and complex MPLS with layer 3 VPN solution was integrated into the city wide BGP and OSPF network. Layer 2 VPNs and IPSEC were integrated into the customer network for security. Avaya Gateways were installed in each location to provide IP trunking for toll bypass and tie line replacement. Cisco IP phones were used at site locations to provide Converged network services. This project will bring the government agencies together with one unifying fiber optic network. There are 360 sites serving 80 agencies with 60,000 telephones and over 30,000 data ports, including secure agencies such as Police, Fire, Courts, DDOT, Schools, Libraries, and Hospitals. Responsible for all phases of the data voice convergence initiative. Used Cisco and Lucent VOIP products and CAC multiplexers with Cisco ONS 15454 and 15327 MSPP boxes to provide data and voice connectivity. Reviewed in detail DWDM, POS, PON, RPR, DPT and TDM as viable alternatives to be considered.

Senior Network Consultant
Tasked to upgrade the federal VA network. The network has a core of Ethernet LAN switches and a WAN consisting of Fore/Marconi ATM switches and Cisco routers. The hospital network consists of 178 sites connected together by high speed links. ATM and T3 are utilized for high speed in the WAN. A VLAN architecture is employed at the local sites running over Multimode fiber with some nearby buildings running single mode fiber. The network is moving to gigabit Ethernet between switches and fast Ethernet to the desktop. Testing of the Links and network connectivity is accomplished with Bert testers, OTDRs, Fluke Scanners/Protocol Analyzers, LAN probes, an NMS with RMON agents. Tasked with WAN troubleshooting of the ATM links and T1/T3 lines from the main sites to remote hospitals and VA sites in conjunction with local and long distance vendors. The Cabletron Roamabout 1 and 2 were used to connect inter city buildings. Provisioning circuits, testing circuits, and giving baselines for performance and errors. Building a state of the art NMS and very high grade security into the network.

Senior Network Engineer
Set up NOC/Data Center for (Company) to integrate their ATM, Frame Relay, SONET, T1, and IP networks. Tested, troubleshot and configured Cisco 2000, 3000, 4000, 7000 series routers, the complete line of Cisco catalyst switches and Pix firewalls. Monitored configured and trobleshot Lucent/Ascend CBX 500, GX 550 and BSTDX 9000 switches, Cienna Broadband equipment, Alcatel DACS, cross connects, and Multiplexors and Nortel DDM 1000 and 2000 SONET gear. Supplied documentation, escalation, training and standard operating procedures as needed to allow for a smooth transition within the NOC. Troubleshot down circuits and poor perfomance using a variety of troubleshooting and monitoring tools. These tools included monitoring with HP Openview, Nortel Preside, Cienna Multiwave 1600 and 4000 series Sentry software, Fireberd ATM-T1-T3, T_BERD T-Carrier Analyzer and Lucent Ascend/Naviscore. Naviscore, Preside, Cienna, Fireberd and Hikemian React were used to test and shutdown and bring up switches and DACS to restore service to downed lines. React was used to change pin assignments in order to bypass bad ports on Titan 532L and 5500 DACS. The React system dealt with dso through ds3 and fractional T1's. Fireberd 500, 4000, and 6000 gear and T-BERD 209, 307, and 310 gear were used to monitor, loop and, test ATM, Frame, and T1 circuits. Worked with local and long distance carriers to isolate and restore service to T1, ATM, Frame, IP, Broadband, Microwave, and Wireless circuits using various tests, loopbacks, and running NNI through looped circuits. Employed MS Excel, Access and Word and Core, FE, and Remedy trouble ticketing and customer order entry software.
