Thanks for stopping by!
This is my little space on the web where you can get to know me better.
There's a lot to cover and it would certainly help if you provided some feedback and let me know what you'd like to hear more of.

Here are some of the more noteworthy projects I've worked on:

Intersection and InLinkUK

The InLinkUK project is similar to the LinkNYC project.
While on the InLinkUK Project, I worked on the backend services, enabling smarter kiosks to operate on any network.
However, as there were physical limitations (think processing and memory) to the kiosk hardware, we needed to build out an even smarter backend service than we did with the original LinkNYC kiosks.
This about where I moved from being a consumer of APIs to providing that functionality to others.
If you're unfamiliar with the project, you should check out InLinkUK!


Intersection and LinkNYC

The LinkNYC project provides fast and free WiFi to the people of NYC, as well as free nationwide phone calls.
At Intersection I provided operational network support for the LinkNYC project and built out reporting tools.
This was a turning point in my career where I started spending more time with platform APIs and less time on an actual CLI.
I would've never imagined that as a Network Engineeer I'd be touching API's for networking gear, Solar Winds or even Sales Force!
However, when you're able to pull exactly the information you need in the format you want, you realize it's time well spent.
If you'd like to learn more about the project, you should check out LinkNYC!


OnSIP Cloud Phone System and UCaaS

OnSIP Cloud Phone System provides business communication services without the commitment of a traditional phone service provider and vendor lock-in.
OnSIP also provides a robust Unified Communication PaaS, that sports integrations with ZenDesk and Slack, or roll your own with the SIP.js library.
At OnSIP, I worked with the development team and upstream carriers to enable geographic redundancy.
Occasionally, I'll also perform deep dives into the carrier's network to figure out what's broken.
Sometimes they'll fix it, othertimes it's a bit more complex, like Verizon's SIP ALG.
It's also at OnSIP where I first started tinkering with Python, specifically the Paramiko library, for the purpse of doing some CLI scraping of Cisco and Juniper devices.
Definitely check out OnSIP for your business communication needs.
