I'm a telecommunications network engineer for an international grocery warehousing corporation.

In my free time I enjoy hiking, reading, crosswords, helping people secure their wifi, and rescuing cats.

Education

• Largely self-taught
• Multiple classes and up-to-date certifications from Avaya and RingCentral
• CompTIA Network+ class (would have the cert, but there won't be a test in my area till COVID-19 is over)

Experience:

• Light sysadmin (~4 years at a small software company)
• Light to Moderate data networking (~5 years designing and installing data networks for small businesses)
  • Advanced data and telecom infrastructure (~7 years installing data network infrastructure hardware and cabling in the private sector, US government agencies, US military)
• Advanced on-prem legacy telecom systems experience including (but not limited to) PBXs from Avaya/Lucent/AT&T, Nortel, Samsung, and Cisco (~7 years and counting)
• Moderate to Advanced VOIP/SIP PBX experience including RingCentral, Jive PBX, 3CX, and Cisco UCM hosted (~4 years and counting)
• Advanced overhead paging experience, which is generally a lot less vendor-specific than anything listed above, but for what it's worth I've worked with hardware from Valcom, Bogen, Avaya/Lucent/AT&T, Algo, Audiocodes, CyberData, and countless others (~8 years and counting)
