Professional Experience

WellPoint Health Networks, Woodland Hills, CA

IT Technical Expert

Hired to deploy Active Directory and Exchange 2000 to 21,000 users. The network operating systems and mail systems were varied between a variety of platforms. In a period of less than 9 months we consolidated 8 mail systems, including mainframe, Unix, and two versions of Exchange onto a single Exchange 2000 deployment in one directory. Often times during the migration there were no readily available commercial tools for doing the migration so frequently I had to write my own tools for migrating the users accounts from the old platform to the new. The project was completed on budget a month ahead of schedule.

Presently I am working to scale our Active Directory forest to accomidate 2 million user objects using Netegrity SiteMinder and IdentityMinder for authentication and access control to our IBM WebSphere Portal. Over the next five years the number of object could grow to as great as 10 million user objects.

At this point I have been sucessful in intergrating PeopleSoft to Active Directory. Also have assitted in re-writing several Java and ColdFusion applications that used a Netscape iPlanet directory previously to use Active Directory. Thus far our team as eliminated the first of the 30+ NT4 domains that are being consolidated into Active Directory.

Push, Inc., Santa Barbara, CA

Chief Technical Officer

Hired as a Sr. Systems Engineer to assist with the planning and deployment of Microsoft Active Directory while concurrently moving the previous network operations center to a new data center. Applying knowledge gained from working in IBM data centers I assisted in the design of the primary and backup electrical systems as well as HVAC and waterless fire suppression for the new data center. During the period surrounding the move I and my fellow engineers designed and successfully implemented multiple Active Directory forests and trees, some supporting over 1500 remote users.

I soon realized that security practices were undocumented, unreliable and basically self-regulated among the engineering staff so I set about the task of writing a document that would govern all matters that were security related. The resulting twenty page document became the foundation for all security practices in the organization and was essential to our successful passage of two independent third party audits by companies such as KPMG, LLP's IRM Practice. Well-documented procedures and adherence to them became one of engineering greatest strengths and a key component of our success during my tenure as Security Manager.

Because of corporate downsizing our team was cut in half and shortly thereafter I was promoted to the Data Center Team Leader and later CTO. I began implementing procedures and automating processes that allowed the help desk to become more efficient thus relieving the burden from engineering. While running on half the staff of before we continued to grow our network and customer base. Prior to my leaving we were negotiating a deal to host 4500 additional remote users using only the current five engineers.
