• Designed and led replacement of a healthcare client's edge security stack with Palo Alto next-generation firewalls, WildFire, web content management, RBAC, centralized logging, and automated elevated-access audits.
• Served as a voting member of NTT's Technology Assurance Team for client-facing technology evaluation, policy, DR, security, availability, and confidentiality recommendations.

Progressed from senior network engineering into architecture leadership for Northern Nevada's largest healthcare system, operating across a 45-site clinical, hospital, administrative, and outpatient footprint.

• Scaled Citrix VDI from 500 to 1,200 concurrent desktops during COVID-19, adding 26 physical servers and transitioning roughly 600 non-clinical staff, including the full contact center, to remote work in 6 weeks.
• Served as primary IT infrastructure consultant for a 200-bed COVID field hospital in a parking garage, designing 10 Gbps fiber connectivity, IDFs, wireless coverage, and clinical workstation access.
• Led migration of roughly 800 systems from on-premises datacenters to geographically disparate colocation facilities over 9 months and about 15 move groups with zero cost overrun.
• Replaced manual sticky-MAC port security with Cisco ISE for roughly 5,000 devices, eliminating daily network-team calls for desktop swaps and improving policy-driven access control.
• Led enterprise wireless replacement from failing Juniper hardware to Cisco across 1,100 access points and 45 sites, enabling later Voalte voice-over-WiFi and Epic Rover clinical mobility deployments.
• Managed 6 infrastructure architects, built infrastructure request standards and a web intake app, improved outsourced service desk first-call resolution by about 10%, and governed a 1.5 PB Pure Storage SAN migration.

Supported casino and hospitality technology operations across the main property and remote sportsbook locations.
