Coleman Technologies — IT-IS Networking

Dates provisional. Recalled rather than sourced — to be confirmed against the record.

The title says network engineer; the work ran from climbing the tower and terminating the feed line through to systems architecture, and the breadth is the point rather than an aside.

Designed WAN, LAN, internet and security architectures for large corporations and local, state and federal facilities. Hospital networks across New York, Florida and North Carolina under HIPAA. Plant-floor wireless for industrial manufacturers. Utility SCADA across a municipal electric and water estate. Intercontinental telemetry for power generation. Department of Defense and special operations work under Top Secret clearance. Greenfield residential cable plant. Resort property management integration in the Bahamas.

CCIE #10042 earned during this tenure, on 4 August 2002.

Dates provisional. The master CV records October 1999 to April 2004; contemporaneous resumes record November 1999, and one records the end as April 2005. Needs confirming.
