Projects
I am currently involved in two projects for the same customer – one is to enable Google ChromeBooks to connect
with the Customer’s Corporate Wireless Network. This involves the issuing of certificates from the CA server
which interfaces with a Google Admin Console (a form of Mobile Device Management).
The other project is to bring the Customer’s Citrix under Fujitsu support and use a F5 Load Balancer for login to
Citrix Services via a Web page URL which resolves to the F5 login page. Authentication occurs via AD. The end
devices are Windows devices, iPads, ChromeBooks, MacBooks.
My last project completed project was the set-up of an email hygiene system for a major client. Another recent
completed project, was to upgrade 1700 End User Computer (EUC) devices - laptops and desktops - from Win XP
to Win 8.1. This required the build of new machines, deployment of a new SOE, custom Application Packaging
and deployment, Asset Management recording, Active Directory update. This was done by Business Unit phases
over 4 months for a major Corporate Account.
The major project before that was to supply and implement Microsoft server infrastructure (Win 2008 R2 servers)
to replace Novell server infrastructure, in readiness for User and Data migration from Windows XP to a Windows 7
environment. This is for a major Corporate Account, and involved domestic (60) and international (61) sites. All
EUC devices were upgraded from Win XP to Win 7. This included set-up of Microsoft Active Directory and
Management Tools to manage and support the new enterprise solution.
Other EUC enablement initiatives that have been managed are follow-me print, BYOD,Office 365 and SharePoint
365 collaboration application. I have previously been involved in the preparation for roll-out of a new email
application (Office 365).
SENIORPROJECT MANAGER, October 2010 – June 2011
TELSTRA Professional Services, Sydney NSW
I was accountable for the delivery of services to Qantas within data network and voice environments. This
customer-facing role coordinated Design Team resources, Subject Matter Experts and other Telstra
implementation staff across Telstra Enterprise & Government, Network Enterprise Services, Service Operations
and Service Delivery.
The role was an escalation point for project staff and was accountable for the financial management, resource
management, delivery, reporting and governance across customer projects.

platform (Remedy v7),working with IBMto upgradetheirplatform (Maximo),and building anewinterfacebetween the

TheIntegration Servicewould allowthebi-directional transmissionofincident and changerecordsbetween thetwo
systems.
PROJECT MANAGER, May 2009 – September 2010
NSW POLICE, Sydney and Parramatta NSW
I was managing the transition of the current NSW Police Radio Network to an IP Network Solution - Radio over
Internet Protocol (RoIP). The principle is the same as traditional VoIP; in this case Real-Time Radio Voice Traffic
can be translated to IP packets and distributed to and from Radio Communication Despatch Centres to Radio
Base Stations where is it translated to radio traffic for end users, i.e. a Police Officer or Team.
TheRadio networkwillalso need to integratein futureinto theGovernment Radio Network(GRN) which isshared by
otheragencies,i.e. Fire,Ambulance,CFA,and Helicopter.Radio Frequencyisan issueon theGovernmentRadio
network.
I was also The PM for the upgrade of a Genesys Work Force Management System for the handling of Triple 000
calls, i.e. Genesys enables automated call presentation to Communication Centre locations, resulting in quicker
pick-up time, and better usage of available resources. This project has now completed.
CONSULTANT/SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER, July 2008 – Nov 2008
MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY – ITS, North Ryde, NSW
I was employed as a Consultant/PM to manage replacement of the current PABX phone switch infrastructure with
a robust VoIP system for the whole Macquarie University campus (5500 ends). The ITS Project team were to
implement the new VoIP system alongside the existing analogue system and cut-over in phases. This included a
Contact Centre. The VoIP system leverages the ability to integrate all forms of communication (aka Unified
Communications), i.e. phone, remote connectivity, e-mail, voicemail, fax, “presence”.
I developed project plans and schedules and other project documentation using PRINCE 2 methodology. I
developed the scope and technical specification reflecting user and operation requirements which were included
in RFIand RFQ documentation that I created and issued, and reviewed responses from manufacturers and system
integrators. I developed a Tender Evaluation Methodology (TEM) which described the process to evaluate RFQ
responses.
SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER, January 2000 – July 2008
OPTUS – Optus Business, North Ryde, NSW
This role was the first point of contact for the customer regarding delivery of (in-scope) projects under Optus
contracts. I managed delivery from Pre-sales to support handover right through to first bill.

• CarriageProviders (e.g.Optus,Telstra,UeComm).
• System Integrators(e.g. NSC,3D Networks,Dimension Data,Alphawest,KAZ,Integ,and IBM).
Some relocation/transition Projects I managed:
Office relocation:CustomerING

theSI.
“Deskbank” Network:CustomerWestpac.
A new networkwas provided for Westpac and itscustomers.Imanaged theprovision ofnewinfrastructurein theBank’s
Data Centres and Optus Data Centres as well as new core network links.
This solution focuses on transferring and supporting the NAT functionality inherently performed on the OPI Classic core
routersover to thenew Westpac DC (CE) routers.A new CErouterwas installed into each ofWestpac DataCentreswith
each CE routerterminating newOPI+ Ethernet accesslinksto Westpac’s“DirectConnectVPN”and “Dial VPN”domains,
enabling diversity and redundancy.
Thisproposed solutionalso includestheprovisioningofanewCErouterinto each ofthe2 OptusExpan Co-Lo DataCentres
where newDNSserverswere to behoused and hosted.EachoftheCEroutersterminated newsingleOPI+ Ethernet access
link from the “Direct Connect VPN” domain, enable DNS redundancy and geographical diversity
Thiswould result in therationalisation oftheexistingWANaccesslinks into Westpac’sDataCentresand at thesametime
simplifying presently the complex routing schemer, BGP together with OSPF. This work was to allow a successful
migration for users of the banks application, “Deskbank”, to the new Network.
I worked with IBM, who managed Westpac’s Data Centres. We adhered to IBM Change management system.
The new network allowed the company's corporate, institutional and business customers to access the bank directly for
their day-to-day transactions using “Deskbank”, i.e. connect more than 6,000 customers, either directly via automated
scripting or using Westpac's electronic banking service for EFT transactions – payroll and mortgage transactions.
