Aug. 2016 - Nov. 2019With UBS Bank as an end customer, I took over engineering duties of the SevOne platform as part of the Network Tools Engineering team. Developing new reporting capabilities, architecting and designing new product offerings from the vendor, implementing and testing software upgrades in an engineering environment and carrying out device certifications as new devices were onboarded or current devices had new software revisions applied.

I performed manual seed file creation, rule sanity checking, metric documentation and reporting, and presentation in Vista Portal.

Some projects include: Dedicated Ethernet: Spearheaded a challenging project with a 95% completion of development prior to hand over to permanent resource; oversaw project management and reporting for Ciena devices.
