The engineer behind the archive
Before cloud platforms, packet captures, and enterprise communications, there were computer labs, satellite buildings, wiring closets, help-desk calls, and the responsibility to make the technology work.

More than a résumé
Christian’s career grew across technologies and layers, but the underlying responsibility stayed consistent: understand the environment, follow the path, protect the service, and leave behind a record another engineer can trust.
Career chronology
The timeline uses confirmed roles and dates from the complete career résumé, beginning with the college IT origin and continuing through enterprise voice engineering, advanced diagnostics, and current technical leadership.
Worked through the college IT help desk while helping cable computer labs and satellite buildings. The job combined installation with real support: build the connection, answer the call, trace the failure, and restore service.
Supported national enterprise VoIP rollouts across financial, government, and retail environments. Specialized in S87XX, ESS, and hybrid Avaya architectures while designing and troubleshooting SIP and TDM integrations across multi-site deployments.
A flood destroyed almost all of the physical wiring-closet photographs collected over the years. The work itself remained, but much of its visual record did not. The Infrastructure Holocron is, in part, a reconstruction of that missing archive.
Managed Avaya SIP routing and disaster-recovery planning in a healthcare environment. Provided advanced troubleshooting and lifecycle support for enterprise telephony where system continuity directly supported patient-care operations.
Supported FAA telecommunications environments through real-time monitoring and escalation. Resolved voice and satellite-system continuity issues in a highly regulated operational setting.
Designed, deployed, and supported enterprise unified communications for commercial and public-sector organizations. Led a SIP migration spanning hundreds of sites, designed an Avaya routing solution that saved $415K, and supported mission-critical 911 and contact-center platforms.
Delivered Tier III SIP diagnostics and root-cause analysis for enterprise communications environments. Worked directly with customers on advanced telephony and collaboration problems and served as an escalation point for network and QoS issues affecting large voice and video deployments.
Serves as a senior escalation point for enterprise Avaya and Oracle SBC environments. Designs and supports SIP trunking, multi-region routing, platform upgrades, TLS and firewall troubleshooting, lifecycle management, high availability, documentation, and engineer training.
Selected impact
The résumé contains more than job titles. These records show the scale of the environments, the measurable value delivered, and the operational consequences of the work.
Led a large enterprise SIP migration while preserving routing continuity and operational resilience.
Designed an Avaya SIP routing solution that reduced cost while improving the return on the platform investment.
Supported regulated FAA, healthcare, 911, contact-center, and enterprise communications environments.
Moved from cabling and help-desk support through national rollouts, engineering, diagnostics, and technical leadership.

The surviving proof is carried forward through technical knowledge, confirmed history, documented methods, and future additions from any material recovered over time.
Engineering constants
Platforms change. Sound operational judgment remains recognizable.
The strongest understanding begins with the physical path, the real endpoint, and the people depending on the service.
A theory earns confidence only when independent observations support it and controlled tests fail to disprove it.
A clean installation, clear handoff, tested backout, and honest record matter as much as the immediate technical fix.
The record continues
It is the accumulated judgment to recognize risk, ask the right question, find the missing evidence, and know what must be proven before declaring the work complete.
