INTRODUCTING

Dear friend,
I’m glad to welcome you at my blog. For sure I can start this notice with “target-oriented highly motivated” and other usual staff. Well, it’s really important, but from my prospective the IT should have a human face. That’s why one of the key pillars of my work is the ability to hear people’s needs and delivery the solutions to them.
I have an extensive experience at all the stages of networks’ lifecycle in Enterprise, Service Providers, Data Center and Security contexts:

• Prepare high level designs (HLD) and project proposal based on business drivers of the customer, including finding out business cases and consulting
• Plan the network modernization, including auditing the existing infrastructure and providing projects plans
• Design low level documents (LLD), including bill of material (BoM) and implementation plans
• Implement network solutions in test and production environment and control the execution of project plans by suppliers/employees
• Operate the existing and deployed infrastructure, including monitoring and maintenance
• Optimize the network infrastructure to reduce operational costs and maximize the business value from the network

I enjoy IT/telecommunication environment. It’s the most dynamic developing field of our life. I like to do something here to make people’s life easier, safe and more comfortable. That’s why I’ve been working here 8 years and continue to work and have fun from it. My main interests are focused in the following domains:

• IT Business
• Networking architecture / development / management / training
• Project Management

I’m open for new challenges and you can hire me to improve your business by maximizing benefits from your IT and network infrastructure. I can help you with the following things:

• Management in IT and Networking fields
• Project management
• Executing full or part networks’ lifecycle and consulting on all stages (business cases, auditing, designing, implementation, operation and optimization of network solutions).
• Provide education for your staff on wide range of networking topics and devices (solely Cisco and multivendor).

My expertise is confirmed by various international certificates. The most important currently is 2x CCIE (RS/SP) #49412 in network field, CAPM in project management and ITIL-F in IT management.

As well I’m opened for collaboration in new projects and other partnership, if it brings benefits both for you and me.
