82 entries across 18 domains. Each one lists the projects that used it, so the index doubles as a map of where the experience actually sits.
Aerial Systems
- Aerial Survey & InspectionCondition assessment of assets that are expensive, unsafe or simply slow to inspect from the ground.
- Part 107 OperationsThe regulatory and command discipline of commercial flight — certification, airspace authorisation, risk assessment and go/no-go judgement.
- Sensor Payload DesignCustom LIDAR and Raspberry Pi payloads designed and built in-house — the sensor package built to the inspection rather than bought off the shelf.
- Unmanned Aircraft SystemsSmall unmanned aircraft operated commercially — airframes, sensors and the data products that come off them.
Automation & Change Governance
- Applied AIAI used where the volume defeats manual review — cryptographic asset discovery, classification and change-at-scale planning.
- Change ManagementA process designed from first principles, proven, and only then fitted with a commercial product — which is the right order.
- Orchestration & AutomationItential, webMethods, Terraform and Kubernetes — governed on the principle that automation multiplies the blast radius of a mistake.
Business & Commercial
- IT Cost Modelling & ChargebackA full technology budget allocated across every agency by measured consumption rather than negotiation — owned for eleven years.
- Portfolio Planning & CommercialA $48M–$62M annual budget built, allocated and defended in public — plus TCO, ROI, build-versus-buy and vendor management.
Cloud & Hybrid
- Cloud & Hybrid ArchitectureWorkload placement, tenancy and the segmentation that ties cloud back to the enterprise — evaluated against recovery objectives and what they cost.
- Cloud MigrationA $42M move off mainframe onto Oracle ERP in AWS, with isolated environments and controlled promotion between them.
Community Broadband & Digital Equity
- Community Broadband & Digital EquityHome internet for the lowest-income areas of Jacksonville — sited by demographic need rather than engineering convenience.
Data & Records
- Data Classification & RetentionClassification schemes that had to survive a court rather than an audit.
- Public Records LawThe workflow by which a citizen's request becomes produced records under Florida statute — designed to make production repeatable rather than heroic.
Design & Engineering
- AutoCAD & MicroStationWhere the career began — and the tool used decades later to plot wireless coverage heat maps by hand.
- SQL & Data PlatformsSQL Server administration and database design from 6.5 onward — and object database work that predates it.
- Windows Server EstatesNT 3.51 through Windows 2000 — directory, messaging, proxy and systems management, at the depth of a twenty-five-exam MCSE.

- Enterprise ArchitectureThe discipline of placing technology correctly in a business's data flows, risk posture and cost structure — the through-line of the last two decades.
Healthcare & Clinical Technology
- Clinical Imaging SystemsPACS, DICOM and hospital information management — the subject of the first architecture role, in 1997.
- Regulatory Compliance ArchitectureHIPAA, CJIS, NIST 800-53, PCI and Florida public records law — often on the same record at the same time.
- TelemedicineRemote clinical encounters with live diagnostic imaging, serving indigent residents and the incarcerated population.
- WORM & Immutable ArchivalWrite-once optical archival for regulated medical records in 1997 — the first of many systems whose retention rule was a law rather than a policy.
Integration & Operational Technology
- Building Automation & Physical SecurityHVAC, access control, video and fire panels converged with the enterprise estate — and a PoE lighting question most pilots never ask.
- Energy Management SystemsReal-time telemetry from generating plants in China and Australia back to a monitoring centre in Florida.
- Gunshot Detection & Active-Shooter TrackingAcoustic detection tied to camera estates so a detected round could be correlated with video and a subject followed rather than merely located.
- Hospitality PMS IntegrationGuest networks as a revenue line — walled-garden entry, metering, and posting marina shore power to a room account.
- IT/OT ConvergenceBridging plant networks and business networks — at a point when the industry still assumed they were separate problems for separate departments.
- Manufacturing Line IntegrationMachine-level visibility across legacy production islands on a medical device manufacturing floor.
- SCADA & Utility Control SystemsWater treatment and wastewater control across a utility estate, with redundant control sites — where the stakes are physical rather than informational.
- Video Analytics & SurveillanceDeep-learning detection, classification and alerting — evaluated against a real requirement rather than a brochure.
- webMethods IntegrationEnterprise service bus and API gateway architecture — designed so the integration layer itself was not a single point of failure.
Intelligent Transportation
- Automatic Vehicle LocationReal-time fleet tracking across agencies that each ran their own IT and answered to different elected officers.
- Emergency Vehicle Signal PreemptionWhere ITS stops being a traffic-efficiency programme and becomes a life-safety system.
- Intelligent Transportation SystemsCommunications and network infrastructure across more than a thousand signalised intersections.
- Roadside DetectionCounting vehicles and the people inside them — the two questions that decide whether ITS data is worth acting on.
Network Architecture
- Content DistributionEdge caching to defeat latency on long, constrained links — moving the data closer to whoever is asking for it rather than buying more bandwidth.
- Data Centre ArchitectureData centre network design, consolidation and live migration — including moving one data centre into another with the estate running throughout.
- Enterprise NetworkingDesign, build and operation of routed and switched networks at enterprise scale — the discipline the CCIE attests to and the spine of the career.
- Legacy TransportATM, Frame Relay, Token Ring and multilink serial — the transport generation the career started on, retained here because the record should show what the work actually was.
- Load Balancing & Application DeliveryF5 LTM and GTM, content switching and SSL acceleration, from early e-commerce builds onward.
- Network SegmentationSeparating traffic that must not mix — done for regulatory reasons years before the industry settled on micro-segmentation and zero trust as words for it.
- Research & Education NetworksFlorida LambdaRail connectivity for a five-agency regional consortium — a governance problem wearing a network's clothes.
- Routing ProtocolsBGP, OSPF, EIGRP and HSRP in production — including metric and delay-based path control across links of deliberately unequal capacity.
- VoIP & Enterprise TelephonyVoice as a designed service — including survivable local call processing so a building keeps dial tone when the path to the central platform fails.
- WAN ArchitectureWide-area transport, carrier strategy and circuit design — from bonded serial links to intercontinental telemetry and diverse carrier entry.
Physical Infrastructure
- Data Centre Facility DesignThe power and cooling underneath the architecture — floor plans, rack elevations, containment, dual UPS and independent A/B electrical paths.
- DOCSIS & HFC Cable PlantGreenfield residential cable buildout — plant layout, feeding fibre and headend-side design, done before the streets were finished.
- In-Building DistributionRiser and horizontal distribution designed for resilience — diverse A and B paths to every closet rather than a single run per floor.
- Outside Plant FibreMunicipal fibre plant designed down to conduit, manhole, slack and splice — built as interlocking rings so a cut takes out a path and not a building.
- Physical Path DiversityProving that two paths are actually separate — by routing them over infrastructure you own rather than trusting a carrier's map.
- Tower & Antenna WorkClimbing the tower, mounting the antenna, running and terminating the feed line — and never designing a wireless site the same way afterwards.
Public Safety Radio
- Land Mobile RadioRegional shared public safety radio across three system generations and two decades — a rare thing to be able to say about infrastructure replaced once a generation.
- Multi-Agency InteroperabilityA utility, law enforcement, fire and rescue and emergency management operating over infrastructure none of them individually owned.
- Project 25 Trunked RadioThe Motorola P25 platform the regional system was ultimately replaced on, carrying a 10,500-radio fleet.
- Radio Site & Tower DesignTower and site design, coverage validated in the field, and redundancy that had to be proven before a storm rather than during one.
Resilience & Emergency Operations
- Continuity of OperationsA two-hundred-page all-hazards plan whose first instruction is to skip the plan and go straight to the appendices.
- Deployable InfrastructureKits built for reproducibility — because a capability has to work in the hands of whoever draws it, not only the person who built it.
- Disaster RecoveryRecovery architecture across multiple data centres, with out-of-region standby and a formal separation between backup and archive.
- Emergency OperationsSeven hurricane activations as Emergency Coordination Officer, each producing an after-action review that fed back into the architecture.
Security Architecture

- Juniper NetworksThe city's security estate for a period, and a deliberate second vendor track twelve years into holding a CCIE.
- Link & Platform CryptographyMACsec at the link layer and FIPS 140-2 validated platforms, where the standard is a compliance obligation rather than a preference.
- Multi-Tenant IsolationSix independently governed agencies on shared infrastructure, none able to reach, disrupt or inherit the regulatory exposure of any other.
- Palo Alto NetworksThe platform underneath the city's multi-tenant firewall boundary — multi-vsys, per-tenant routing domains and policy on shared hardware.
- Post-Quantum CryptographyCrypto-agility at scale, which is an inventory and mass-change problem before it is a cryptography problem.
- Security ArchitectureSecurity-by-design across estates with conflicting statutory obligations — where the classification scheme has to survive a court rather than an audit.
Wireless
- Distributed Antenna SystemsNeutral-host in-building DAS carrying four commercial carriers, public safety radio and Wi-Fi on one shared plant — across two full platform generations.
- Fixed Wireless BroadbandMotorola Canopy point-to-multipoint distribution off municipal towers, modelled for coverage before a mast went up.
- Industrial & Plant-Floor WirelessCoverage that has to hold while the line is running — production areas, material handling, yard and warehouse, surveyed on site.
- Point-to-Point WirelessLicensed-exempt bridges carrying voice, video and data where no fixed infrastructure exists — with the encryption placed above the link rather than inside it.
- RF Propagation ModellingCoverage modelled in EDX Wireless and validated in the field — because coverage is not a map exercise and the failure mode is a radio that does not reach anybody.
- Wireless LAN DesignEnterprise and building-wide WLAN across hospitals, plants, courthouses and a Super Bowl stadium.
- Wireless MeshMunicipal 802.11a mesh on light poles, backhauled from a city tower, with residential traffic tunnelled clear of the government estate.
- Wireless Site SurveyMeasuring coverage on site rather than predicting it from a floor plan — including a countywide drive test in the era before the software existed.
