Selected project experience

Projects that involve more than a hardware change.

A firewall rebuild, a difficult switching problem, or a new network across several buildings. These examples show the work Jaen has taken on and the systems he had to bring together.

Field execution

The finished work should keep complexity out of the client’s way.

A clean installation is only the visible result. Behind it are routing, segmentation, failover, wireless design, automation, testing, and cutover planning that keep the business operating.

These examples show the scale of the work, what changed, and how operations were protected. Client identities and sensitive infrastructure details remain private.

Forty-nine Fortinet wireless access points staged for a multi-building deployment

Multi-building rollout

The scale was planned before the first device reached the ceiling.

Forty-nine Fortinet access points, sixteen managed switches, and connectivity for five remote warehouses were coordinated as one environment.

Core modernization

Before-and-after views show what the full rebuild accomplished.

The work included complete switch and wireless replacement, a rack rebuild, patching, labeling, and a controlled core cutover.

Zero-downtime headquarters and warehouse project

Two locations. Twelve VLANs. No business interruption.

Jaen rebuilt and reconfigured the headquarters network for about 45 users, then redesigned the company’s 120,000-square-foot warehouse wireless environment with 28 access points. The combined scope included FortiGate policy, switching, voice, five Axis cameras, one on-premises server, three cloud servers, an SSO VPN deployed through Datto RMM, a site-to-site warehouse tunnel, and AWS failover tunnels.

Does your project involve more than one layer of IT?

That is a useful place to start the conversation. Explain what you need the business to do and what is already in place.
