About

Senior Network & Infrastructure Engineer with over 13 years of experience supporting enterprise, telecom, and government environments, including DoD and large-scale service providers. My background spans network engineering, VoIP/Unified Communications, security, and enterprise infrastructure operations across highly structured, mission-critical environments. I’ve led and supported complex infrastructure deployments, network modernization initiatives, and large-scale service implementations impacting 1,000+ endpoints. My experience includes routing and switching, enterprise access networks, VoIP systems, firewall and access control technologies, and cross-team coordination to ensure performance, reliability, and compliance. Most recently, I supported national access network deployments at Cox Communications, engineering and troubleshooting voice, data, and wireless services across large converged environments. Prior roles include senior network engineering, UC engineering subject matter expertise, and supporting classified and unclassified systems in military and government settings. I am currently completing a Master of Science in Information Technology Management, strengthening my focus on IT leadership, infrastructure strategy, governance, and operational excellence. I bring a balanced perspective that bridges hands-on engineering with enterprise-level planning and execution. Previously held a DoD Secret clearance (last active September 2024), with experience working in regulated and secure environments. Known for strong documentation, cross-functional collaboration, and a calm, methodical approach to complex technical challenges. Core areas of focus: Enterprise Networks | VoIP & Unified Communications | Infrastructure Modernization | Network Security | Technical Leadership | IT Operations
