  I possess 25 years of expertise in team management, network architecture, software implementations, and development experience across multiple industries. I am the Manager of Network Engineering Opererations at Walt Disney Studios. My commitment to innovation has led to me earning a Disney Inventor Award. In 2019, I created the network architecture for the backup and global content move Disney/Microsoft/Avid Editorial in the Cloud project. I designed and partially implemented the connection of dozens of sites, hundreds of on-prem and cloud VMs, and petabytes of storage. The number of moving parts in transferring vast amounts of files involved in a single movie meant traditional techniques to estimate transfer times were unreliable. To solve this, I developed algorithms and wrote a front-end code for applying machine learning to experimental datasets. This earned me the Disney Inventor Award, and a patent is currently pending. Both of my roles at Disney allowed me to flex my time and project management skills. For example, as the Senior Network Engineer, I delivered 15+ reliable and secure networks within project deadlines. I sought multiple ways to optimize internal processes to achieve this, including developing the Ansible Tower automation for three multi-tenant sites. This enabled the team to meet otherwise impossible deadlines and support a 7x increase in content production for 2021. Additionally, I believe in cultivating a curious, inspiring workplace. Collaboration, trust, and leadership are my core values, and I seek to positively impact any team I am a part of by employing these attributes. I mentor other engineers across teams by partnering with them on new technology, including teaching them networking and coding best practices. Outside of work, I enjoy PC gaming, designing and building electronics, woodworking, and photographing. If I don’t have my hands in a new project, they grip my bike handles as I tread down the asphalt of a new cycling route.
