Director IP Engineering

Lead the engineering group charged with designing and managing all of the backbone and access level IP related services and network for the entire company. This included supporting the wireless infrastructure and top -level support for customer.

(Open Range filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October, 2011.)During my tenure at Open Range, our primary goals were to enhance customer experience, develop strategies for transition to IPv6, and institute efficient and effective processes for growth and transition to 4G LTE environments. Open Range utilized WiMAX technology for it's last mile to clients. The company's charter moving forward was to implement 4G LTE in over 300 markets. The IP engineering group was responsible for making sure we could support that project with bandwidth capacity, AAA, manageability, resiliency while supporting existing clients and transitioning to IPv6.The initial projects were to streamline and document existing processes and pain-points. We implemented enhancements to document management, revision control, and the as-build processes. I also was responsible for solidifying contracts with our supporting vendors and determining network changes for efficiency and performance. Key technologies and vendors were Bridgewater AAA, WiChorus ASN(Tellabs), Cisco 7600 platform, and 6connect for IPAM.We also consolidated 3 datacenter locations with minimal impact to clients by performing a very structured transition working with both our datacenter and telco vendors to manage numerous coordinated cuts. We estimated this would save the company 10-15% of OPEX and allow for enhancing reliability in other areas.

Industry: Internet Services

Director Technical Operations/Principal Network Architect

Lead network architect and Technical Operations Director. Responsible for network design, geographic footprint, operational performance, uptime, and scalability..

I am currently charged with the design, implementation, operational budgeting, and support of an international storage delivery network(SDN) that distributes very large files to Internet based organizations. In my role, I oversee all aspects of LAN/WAN design, system support, NOC, and am the principal negotiator regarding network contracts and services. This includes supporting infrastructures such as server clusters, web farms, datacenters, and all networking components and external vendor/registries. I also provide key product development direction to support our applications concerning system throughput, function, supportability, and reliability. Further, I provide key support to our sales and business development with COGS and feasibility studies to make sure we meet corporate goals for network and datacenter performance within a multi-million dollar budget. Specifically, I have initiated system design changes on our SDN (storage delivery network) to more than double the throughput for our average customer just by implementing design changes. This has enhanced revenue opportunities for the organization and dramatically diminished support calls and costs. I have also established initiatives to reduce our bandwidth and datacenter overhead costs by negotiating much more favorable terms with our vendors and changing the network to be more peering friendly. Current projects show this will save us approximately 20% of our OPEX within the first 6 months and much higher in the following years. During my tenure we opened domestic and international implementations servicing Swisscom, General Electric, NBC Universal, Cisco ontime and within budget.
