NETWORK ENGINEER
CISCO EXPERT

 
- STRONG TROUBLESHOOTING SKILLS (CISCO & Network Protocols).
- NETWORK ARCHITECTURE (ROUTING, SIZING..).
- WIDE MULTIPROTOCOL KNOWLEDGE.

 
 PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE 
     
    1998-2000: For ALTRAN  GROUP at  France TELECOM Transpac – GLOBAL ONE

     -  Level 2 Cisco Technical Support (1998)  and Level 3 (1999)
     -  Cisco Expert (99-00).
     

      - Internal Consulting for pre-sale architecture design. (inc. Large scale network design and validation).
        - Consulting for architecture specifications and router configuration (Routing & Backup) for large companies (banking, car manufacturing industry … 500-2000 routers).
        - Specification for an architecture requiring strict Quality of Service  management (Customer: Consulting – 200 routers).
        - Currently :  Study and specification for the deployment of IP Multicast on a large ADSL/ISDN network (Customer Insurance : 5000 routers).


      - Troubleshooting Activity is focused on the resolution of major problems occurring on operational networks. 

        - The working  environment is made up of  about 50000 operational routers: heterogeneous architectural and multiprotocol surroundings.
        - Direction of “escalating procedures”: management of critical situations with stringent time constraints.
         
    Jan.-Jun. 1998: SITA (R&D) [Internship]
       
    -  Investigations focusing on videoconferencing over IP.
     
      - Study of effective solutions to provide guaranteed Quality of Service over IP. The goal is to prevent non-delay sensitive application from degrading the videoconference.
      - Focus on Diffserv work, ToS byte, NHRP,  ToS WFQ sensitivity. Realization of a NHRP based CISCO solution with routers over an ATM backbone.
