    PROJECTS
    
    University of Colorado Hospital: Worked as a team member with 
    implementation of the entire network of the hospital, including security 
    assessments and recommendations. The switched network has Catalyst 6500, 
    4000, and 3500 series switches over which various VLANs are configured 
    over Gigabit Ethernet backbone. Commissioned Cisco IP/TV and IP Telephony, 
    as part of the project. Performed security audit using industry standard 
    tools. Performed penetration testing in a non-production environment in 
    order to ensure secure practices in production.
    
    Hardin Simmons University: Implemented the entire campus network for 
    Hardin Simmons University. The Gigabit Ethernet network has a Catalyst 
    6509 at the core providing connectivity to users spread across various 
    buildings. There are four 4005s and about sixty 3500s in the network along 
    with two PIX firewalls in fail-over and two AS5300 access servers 
    providing dial-up connectivity using RADIUS authentication. Recommended 
    and advised security changes and patches to systems. Developed and trained 
    an incident response team for external and internal incidents. Developed 
    detailed reporting methods and procedures for security violations.
    
    Telergy: The project involved installation; configuration and testing the 
    data flow through a group of SONET SmartEdge 800a (optical switches). The 
    test plan involved checking the BER and consequently providing the 
    efficiency of the optical switches.
    
    City of Englewood: Implemented the network for City of Englewood in which 
    remote offices connect to central office using Cisco equipment including 
    7200 series routers, 3500 series switches, PIX etc. Western Stone and 
    Metal: Implemented the network having a catalyst 6506 at the core 
    connected to two PIX firewalls and two LocalDirectors and remote offices 
    are connected to this core. 
    
    Western Stone and Metal: Implemented 6509 based network including PIX 
    firewalls and LocalDirectors. Gathered and analyzed reports against log 
    files of servers, firewalls and routers for optimal security performance. 
    Maintained chain of custody, evidence searches, and reporting procedures. 
    
    NEC BNS, Denver: Implemented the Cisco Intrusion Detection Systems for 
    security auditing and providing real time monitoring and alerts. Monitor 
    the network for security violations and intrusions. Evaluate WebTrends 
    Security Analyzer, SnifferPro LAN, VisualRoute trace route, HPToptools 
    etc. for overall applicability and security utility.
    
    Paetec Communications: Complete extensive internal and external 
    penetration testing and information security assessment, identifying 
    potential security vulnerabilities associated with their systems, 
    processes, and controls. Configure and interpret results of security 
    scanning/vulnerability tools to identify vulnerabilities and exploits from 
    both network and host levels. These tools include commercial products in 
    conjunction with various powerful shareware and freeware tools, and self 
    developed manual techniques. 
    
    Tupper Lake School: Configured VOIP between the routers for communication 
    between two PBXs, one located in middle school and the other in elementary 
    school. Router-to-router connectivity was through Ethernet media, so the 
    major challenge was synchronizing the clocks.
    
    Adam’s County School District: WAN implementation solution using VoIP 
    technology. The Central Site was configured with a Cisco 7200 and remote 
    sites with 3640 routers with EIGRP, Frame Relay and ISDN backup. Cisco 
    7200 and 3640s were configured with DS3/T3 and T1 cards respectively. 
    EIGRP was optimized for minimum traffic on the Frame Relay links.
    
    Jones Radio Network: The network at Jones Radio was very slow. Analyzed 
    the network by data capture analysis using Agilent Internet Advisor and 
    restructured the entire network which started working fine after 
    restructuring. 
    
    NEC BNS network: Commissioned the office network for NEC BNS, Denver, CO, 
    thus providing connectivity to all the users, using Cisco equipment.
