Maintain and upgrade all systems and labs connected to Civil and Environmental Engineering as the single point of contact for ~2k students and faculty. Create, test and implement deployments and images including dozens of specialized industry and enterprise applications, while monitoring and troubleshooting multiple network licensing servers. Build and support Linux servers interfaced with 30k+ user active directory. Interface and maintain specialized network communications and storage systems.

Design and test control logic (IFOC, V/Hz) for 3 phase motor control via high speed IGBT switching. Interface and generate C code for multiple Texas Instruments DSP boards with GUI representation of system signals. Design and build PCB interfaces to protect control hardware while supplying signal conditioning for non-uniform sensor feedback.

Bring outdated configurations in line with updated security standards. Modernize software deployment using secure network shares. Expand active directory integration and administration to local clients. Develop and deploy custom research client systems and servers.

Maintain/expand 2000+ encrypted workstation domain while assisting users with remote & onsite troubleshooting and problem resolution. Migrate users between workstations while upgrading department hardware/software and deploying customized scripts to prevent interruption of workflow due to systems mismatches. Operate a test bench of machines which span the gamete of legacy and current University hardware/software combinations to allow for pre-deployment testing of proposed solutions.

Craft design ideas, produce immediate mock ups to aid clients in visualization of their desired product. Heavy editing of multimedia projects (digital stills via Photoshop, multimedia production via Final Cut Pro suite) for numerous professional photographers and amateur videographers, finalized projects have been on exhibition in the Lincoln Center and the Halls of Congress. Demonstrate required work to staff, increasing efficiency through delegation of less technical tasks.

Assist in simulation and bench testing of circuits to fulfill obligations of University research contracts. Design and build complex CAD models for CNC production of system housings and adapter plates, with focus on efficient fiber interconnect routing.
