Robert B.'s Linkedin Analytics

As a Staff Engineer, I keep complex telecom systems functioning smoothly in Fortune 500 companies. I have saved millions by managing vendor relations and often bringing work in-house, dispensing with overpaid and often underperforming vendors. I’m constantly reading and learning to keep up with the latest innovations. Many people in IT hoard their knowledge to protect their position; I believe in sharing knowledge to build up those around me and spur teams to high performance and implementing breakthrough practices. People appreciate my resourcefulness and that they can count on me to get it done, no matter what. I’m frequently recognized for completing major projects on time and within budget. I’m looked to as the go-to person for anything not call center-related. My knowledge includes: SBC, Virtualization, and Acropolis. I’m also adept at Avaya Products, Linux, Troubleshooting, Nutanix infrastructure W/ Acropolis OS & VMware ESXi. I’m deeply committed to excellence and people appreciate me for going above and beyond when things need to be done. When a client power plant had connectivity issues on New Year’s Eve, I drove 220 miles to resolve the issue. I was recognized for saving $200k on vendor services after I realized the vendor was making a lot of errors. Though I knew little about virtualization, I took it upon myself to quickly learn and become certified in virtualization and lead the effort. When we took over upgrades and patching, this stabilized the environment and increased the agility of my team, cutting time to apply security patches from two weeks to just 72 hours.
