William Stucky: Senior Network Engineer in San Diego, CA

Engineer individually responsible for datacenter firewall migration from Dell Sonicwall and Cisco ASA to PaloAltos in HA, keeping business dependent web-services operational and necessary IPSec tunnels functional for client services and development environment accessible and segregated. Operational documentation shared with support team, including implementation plan, drawings, and monitoring/troubleshooting techniques. Pitched and implemented Ultra-Low-Latency streaming in Wowza environment to provide sub-5-second latency for remote piloting of subsea Remotely Operated Vehicles. Successfully redesigned management network after acquiring network monitoring support job for high visibility client to retain internet and corporate connectivity securely separated. Developed and provided training for department support team to understand and utilize LiveAction for Netflow analysis and QoS implementation for offshore networks limited to 128Kbps-8Mbps VSAT bandwidth restrictions. Developed and provided training for department support to for RTMP and RTSP streaming across Wowza to client-facing websites with Flash Media Live, Axis, Haivision, and more. Provided training material for Palo Alto firewalls to ensure support team can sufficiently support newly utilized technologies.

Engineer responsible for level-3 support by configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting network equipment (including Cisco Routers, Switches, ASAs via CLI and ASDM, VoIP, CUE, WLAN, Meraki Wireless and Firewalls, and low-latency/low-bandwidth Video Streaming) for over 50 separate global networks of offshore oil rigs, support vessels, and warehouses. Set up IPSEC tunnels between remote sites and corporate LAN. Built tunnels between client sites and production networks to provide network monitoring and data/video-streaming services. Ensured redundant connectivity and proper TDMA fleet-shared 4Mbps bandwidth utilization by relying on “VSAT while offshore” and “4G/LTE when at dock” with 4K, 2900 and 810 series Cisco routers. Maintained documentation and standardization for frequently changing environments using MS Visio, MS Office, Google Docs Suite, and Jira ticketing system. Assisted with the design and installation a Cisco wireless system for an autonomous, trackless amusement ride at Universal Studios, FL and Disney California Adventures as part of a team. Utilized OSPF and EIGRP routing protocols to allow for as close to absolute seamless roaming between access points to maintain proper communication with the controls systems. Spearheaded design and configured network for Oceaneering’s mobilization multiple new Oceaneering support vessels. Configured (per site) CUE on CME for 40+ VOIP phones including desk, conference, and wireless phones. Implemented latest standard of Meraki wireless to allow for cloud control for VoW and WLAN activity for over 100 end-users. Assisted technicians in setup of LAN for Haivision IPTV and DirectTV network utilizing a VideoFurnace, Makito encoders, Mantaray set-top boxes, and CoolSign media displays while ensuring local video traffic would not impact the operations network but still maintain remote management reachability.

Hands-on experience configuring, installing, monitoring, and troubleshooting networks for the Oceaneering Fleet. Proactively monitored sites using SolarWinds to maintain LAN communications during multi-million dollar operations. Maintained documentation for completed sites using MS Visio and Google Docs Suite. Consistently worked to improve video streaming over point-to-point radio-link for subsea operations between support vessels and rigs by creating a near plug-n-play product, thus alleviating the need to dispatch a technician. Independently designed and installed a Ubiquiti wireless infrastructure utilizing UniFi software for automating the warehouse at a Ford Body and Assembly Plant in Germany. Configured and installed data acquisition network (including ASA5520) for offshore client needing 5 segregated 3rd party networks to communicate with a central Pi server and limiting internet access to only the necessary specified protocols for the job.

Managed and maintained accurate inventory for offshore communications department. Implemented global inventory for international operations and maintained accurate inventory of network equipment according to department standards.
