Lead Engineer responsible for cable mapping efforts at multiple Department of Energy (DOE) locations;

o     Provided detailed survey of telecommunication rooms for copper/fiber optic connectivity.

o     Documented rack elevation drawings of equipment, floor plans and building entrance locations and multiple closet locations.

o     Worked closely with subcontractor mapping underground and aerial routes of cabling on site map drawing. Provided MH Butterfly drawings, tagged cabling, fiber patch panels (FOPPs) and building entrance protection terminals (BEPTs).   

o     All cabling was tested and evaluated.

o     Installation discrepancy report generated to document non-standard installation procedures.

o     Documented project improvements to eliminate daisy chained buildings, diverse routing to nodes and telecommunication room upgrades with grounding.

 

OSP/ISP Engineer for U.S military base projects in Afghanistan for SWA Projects.

 

o     Awarded over $60M in revenue, with 65%-win rate of bids during successful 2-year project. Over 60 proposals were developed to support these telecommunications projects. The projects provided connectivity for military personnel during heavy deployment during war time activities.

o     Projects involved engineering design of maintenance/hand holes, underground duct, and fabric mesh, fiber distribution hubs, network cabinets, communications shelters, back bone cabling (fiber optic cables and copper cabling) and structured cabling systems to support the facilities on base. 

OSP/ISP Engineer for Spangdahlem Germany outside plant project, engineering design efforts of communication cabling and physical infrastructure to over (150) buildings;

 

o     Upgraded existing nodes with dual homed connections and single-mode FOC to provide a redundant and robust network. 

o     Eliminated multimode FOC and daisy chained building, providing increased reliability and network user experience of greater speeds on single-mode FOC. 

o     Received very high ratings on the technical design from both prime contractor and government client.
