Professional Experience

Responsible for support of the US DOT IDN (Intermodal Data Network). Support includes router maintenance, network configuration assistance to DOT agencies, TCP/IP management, and product and technology evaluation for future implementation on DOT networks.

Performed Webmaster duties for the primary DOT web server. I also provide security audits on UNIX hosts and evaluate and install security tools on hosts at the request of system administrators. Also developed a prototype Intranet server network to distribute documents and information within the Department.

Other efforts included the development of a dial-up telecommuting system for DOT employees. The system can support remote IPX (for Netware users), SLIP/PPP for TCP/IP based applications, and ARAP (Appletalk Remote Access Protocol) for Macintosh users all through the same modems and hardware.

Past accomplishments include the implementation of a 100mb FDDI backbone for the DOT with a 100% fiber-optic distribution infrastructure. I also developed the early client-server SNMP management system used on the backbone (Cabletron's Spectrum) run on a SGI workstation. This system included 7 clients distributed throughout the various DOT administrations.

Worked as a network technician to maintain an existing 10mb Ethernet backbone at the DOT headquarters. Gained experience with T-1 data circuits, bridges, routers, and terminal server hardware. During this period, I assisted with the development of DOT's first true internet services with the installation of a 56kb leased circuit and a single AT&T 3B2 host.
