Present Employment Honeywell - January 1989 to present Honeywell is a large company with many divisions. At the start of 1989 I began work with Honeywell within a Building Controls Group and then in 1992 moved into a Data Networks Group. Now, I have a European role support the sale of solutions for large Smart Building projects. Solutions Advisor - February 2015 to present A European role involving the design and presentation of large commercial building solutions to end users and construction consultants. The role also involves demonstrating building system technologies to end users and influencers within the construction industry. I have designed and present a number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules to construction executives and consultants, the topics mainly covering Sart Buildings and Cyber Security. Integrated Buildings Consultant - January 2008 to January 2015 I took on a broader role within the building solutions environment and this involved me working closely with sales teams, clients and building consultants on large project designs for projects in Canada, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Finland and Turkey. The technologies included Building Management systems, physical security systems, video surveillance, wired and wireless data networks, IP TV, Radio Frequency Identification and key management systems. I also undertook a technical lead role on a number of projects, this meant that I lead teams of engineers with various skill sets to bring together working solutions within designated timescales. Solutions were developed from the concept stage, Factory Acceptance stage, Site Acceptance stage and then on through to handover to service teams. During this period I frequently gave presentations on building systems integration, these were often at Honeywell's demonstration facilities, but there were also regular opportunities elsewhere such as at sales conferences, Reading University's Masters course in Intelligent Buildings, construction consultants, hospital trusts and the Register of Security Engineers and Specialists. A number of manufacturers and technologies were assessed by me during this period including Huawei network switches, Extreme network switches, Meru and Aruba Wireless, TIBCO and Software AG information management systems, Zebra Ultra Wide Band, RFID and Airetrak tracking systems, AMX IP TV and video storage. I worked in Belgium on a project to upgrade the security for Belgium's nuclear power stations. The security systems included CCTV, access control, Radar and key security, and these systems were connected via a resilient Cisco data network with network management and firewalling in place. My main role was as a technical lead to guide the engineering team through the Factory Acceptance Test process, I also liaised with the data network installation team and aided in the data network design. Having helped the client write the specifications and having worked on the design, I took the technical lead role in implementing the integrated building solution for West Cheshire College, an FE college with 1000 staff and 20,000 full and part time students. The technologies implemented included structured cabling, wired and wireless data networks, network security including firewalls and Network Access Control, BMS, lighting control, access control, campus-wide IP TV plus video storage, CCTV and RFID tracking for all staff and students. Data from the RFID tracking was presented to the college calendar systems to enable them to automatically check attendance. Over this time, one of the projects I was involved with included the design and implementation of an Extreme Networks-based network infrastructure for DVLA's voice systems that support the UK-wide call centre in Swansea. This network had to achieve sub-second recovery on link failure in order to maintain the integrity of the voice systems. Network Consultant - February 2002 to December 2007 In this position I acted as third line support for engineers, worked on new network designs and migrations whilst liaising with customers, providing them with plans and design documentation. In addition, I was called upon to troubleshoot network issues as they arose and suggested remedial action along with pro-active means of preventing repeat occurrences. Teaching aspects of networking to other engineers and customers became more important in my position at this time. Cisco specialisations achieved whilst performing this role included the Content Network Specialisation, IP Telephony Support Specialisation and the Wi-Fi Design Specialisation. One of my roles was to prepare technical responses to bids. This required me to provide documented designs, equipment schedules and configurations commensurate with the customer business requirements. Successes included Design and implementation of the integrated infrastructure for the Liverpool One development in the centre of Liverpool, the 2008 European City of culture. Working with Grosvenor and WSP this included the data network, network security, Wi-Fi and the integration of CCTV, Public kiosks, and media services for tenants. Projects that I have worked on include DNS global load balancing and Content Delivery Network implementation for customers such as British Gas and the AA. In particular, I have been involved in a migration project away from AA's Radio network to a GPRS- based system with Content switches fronting the AA servers. Other projects have included network core design and implementation for New Look, plus involvement with New Look's IP Telephony design and installation and some IPsec VPN work. I have also been responsible for Industrial network firewalling and intrusion detection, plus Quality of Service proof of concept design and implementation for Centrica's WAN. Issues requiring troubleshooting have been in environments such as FDDI, EIGRP, HSRP, VPNs, BGP and bridging. Other projects have included consultancy on Wembley's WiFi infrastructure and, integrating building CCTV systems on to the Health and Safety Executive's Liverpool campus. Senior Data Networks Engineer - November 1997 to January 2002 In this role my responsibilities were extended to include training of fresh engineers and management of the skills and training requirements. In addition to this I took on the responsibility of managing the accreditation requirements of data network suppliers such as Bay Networks (Nortel Networks), Microsoft, Avaya and Cisco Systems Ltd. During this period I have attained accreditations as an MCSE (NT 4.0), a Bay Networks Certified Expert (now NNCSE), a Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP), a Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP) and Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE #7754). High profile projects that I have had responsibility for include British Gas Services network throughout the UK. This network supports many thousands of service engineers and corporate database systems based on VMS and ICL core computers. This network has had a large Nortel Networks router and shared Ethernet base. My design responsibilities have included moving this network across to a Cisco based network using 10/100BaseT switched LANs and Frame Relay, ISDN and ATM in the WAN. This has required extensive interaction with Telecommunications providers. Other networks that I have been involved with from a service point of view have included Centrica, the Automobile
