JOSHUA SYSTEMS; Clearwater, Florida (Value Added Reseller; Systems consultant); 2001 – 2004

Project Manager, Systems and Network Engineering and Integration; Software Engineering; Sales Engineering

* Developed partnerships and coordinated comprehensive solutions that included business model analysis, training, marketing, and call center development. Single source solutions focused on reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction. Efforts concentrated on network operations, software development, and systems integration.

* Authored white papers and created training courses in software engineering, network design, and competitive trade studies to standardize client presentations, processes, and development environments.

* Developed requirements specifications, test plans, installation verification plans, and Operations and Maintenance procedures for deployed software and network systems.

* Tested commercial grade Wi-Fi equipment for security, interoperability, distance, and interference limitations for deployment within high-traffic environments including hotels and other business establishments. Testing was especially focused on interference limitations because of the non controlled nature of the environments.

* Designed Local Exchange Carrier and Customer Premise integration test beds for commercial network deployments. These test beds required OSHA compliance and employed test equipment including FIREBERD communications analyzers, protocol analyzers, oscilloscopes, cable testers, and standardized endpoint devices.

* Created embedded assembly line software system for heavy equipment final acceptance testing that included an electrical interface test bed with frequency, pressure, and temperature transducers.
