CTO
Co-founded this Managed Firewall and VPN Services company in Canada
to ensure uninfringed deployment of security services utilizing
maximum strength cryptography. Responsible for architecting and
managing a scalable Global Security Services Infrastructure (GSSI) comprised of
Autonomically Stateful (AS) systems with Distributed Awareness (DA)
and Rapid Response Agents (RRA). Our largest client was Lions Gate Entertainment.

Hitter Communications,
2000 - 2001
Senior Unix Systems and Network Administrator
Supervising a staff of 10, I was responsible for Unix and network
administration of primarily FreeBSD Unix systems and Cisco networking
equipment. As ARIN coordinator (KA213-ARIN), I managed the multihomed
address space of Autonomous System AS12099. We provided services such
as dedicated Internet connectivity, nationwide dial-up, email, web hosting
and resource monitoring. Hitter Communications (subsequently acquired by
EarthLink) was one of the
largest ISPs in the Tampa Bay area.
-
SageMaker,
1999 - 2000
Senior Systems Architect
Primary responsibility for the software testing and release cycle of
SageWave, the client component of the company's primary product.
Additional senior level responsibilities were for Unix systems administration,
WAN management, Internet security, remote access, network monitoring and DNS
administration. SageMaker (subsequently acquired by Divine)
was an Enterprise Information Portal (EIP) company with a focus on the oil, gas
and energy industries.
-
IBM Global Services,
1997 - 1998
Unix Systems Administrator - Security Specialist
As a senior technician, I performed advisory and hands-on roles
in network architecture, risk analysis, security policies, security auditing
and intrusion detection. I also administered DNS (set up and was hostmaster
to southbury.ibm.com
on IBM's intranet and the Internet), sendmail (designed email architecture
for IBM
Content Hosting Services), firewalls (designed and configured firewalls
for both IBM internal and commercial use), Cisco routers (wrote and
maintained the security ACLs for IBM
Content Hosting Services as well as commercial customers) and
webservers (designed secure server and electronic commerce systems for
both IBM internal and commercial accounts). I also administered an experimental streaming video distribution system at Thomas J. Watson Research Center.
Additionally, I provided fourth level technical support (and there are officially only three) as needed.
-
Jabil Circuit,
1995 - 1997
Corporate Unix Systems Administrator
Primary systems/network responsibility for multi-vendor Unices across
a heterogeneous, international WAN. Duties consisted of research, development,
implementation, policies, documentation and highest level technical support
for the local IT departments of seven manufacturing facilities worldwide. Sole
responsibility for design and administration of firewalls, both Internet
and Extranet. Jabil is the third largest contract manufacturer of circuit
board assemblies in the world, manufacturing, among other things, most of
Cisco's product.
-
Advantis - IBM Global Network,
1995
Systems Engineer
Contracted on the 1NET project, integrating the two distinct SNA networks,
Advantis North (Sears heritage) and Advantis South (IBM heritage) into
the world's largest single SNA network. Technical support role for larger,
dual-attached customers with emphasis on load-balancing, traffic-splitting
and APPN/LEN connectivity.
-
Cue & Case Connection,
1995 - 2000
Sole Proprietor
An e-commerce billiard supply store with secure online credit
card transactions beginning in June of 1996. I designed, built, and configured
the website as an e-commerce proof of concept at a time when
credit card processing companies were saying it couldn't be done. It
was the first billiard supply outlet on the Internet and the first to offer
secure online ordering as well. Revenues were still close to doubling each
year at the time of it's sale.
