Professional Summary:

Fiber Optic network design including, WDM, fiber to business, multiple customer rings, point to point, cell site, and WIFI.  Well versed drafting in the GIS/Telecommunications field. Familiar and fluent in multiple design & draft platforms. Many hours spent “in the field” have helped me develop a strong real world working knowledge of OSP Fiber Optic and RF network processes. I am also well versed in ISP and RME. I have worked on projects for such companies such as Cox Communications, AT&T, Cablevision, Comcast, Charter, and Sprint. I have designed and drafted new transport fiber optic networks, updated company databases after field outages/damages and or any upgrades/conversions. I have been responsible for many HI CAP customers including many Las Vegas casinos. Happily assisted splice techs on the phone in real time during fiber hits/ rollovers and outages and new builds. I adapt to constantly changing technology while maintaining proven methods and procedures. Excellent interpersonal skills, energetic, knowledgeable, strongly self motivated and extremely detail oriented. Solid references of course. Last but not least, I love what I do. It’s not only a career, it’s a passion.
