RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE
CNE-Invest, Cernavoda (August 2002 – January 2008)
Company Profile: Construction and commissioning of energy utilities plants
Work Function: Network Administrator, IT&C Department
Period: August 2002 – January 2008
Environment: 1000Base-LX, SX, T and 100Base-FX backbone on multimode/singlemode
fibre, HP managed switches, Cisco routers, Cisco PIX Firewall, Debian
Linux networking servers, Microsoft Windows NT family servers and PCs,
Active Directory, Antivirus - Content Inspection - Network IDS from

2. My role:
 Being an OSI Layers 1, 2 and 3 expert, I decide what equipment is best for our LAN and I also
initiate Purchase Requests to acquire Layer 1, 2 and 3 equipment
 Design and plan LAN expansion based on requirements, wherever our services are needed in our
organisation. I also supervise the execution and verification of all LAN extensions according to
EIA/TIA structured cabling standards. Senior Management thinks Wireless LANs are too risky and
unreliable, thus at present I don’t deal with wireless technology
 Cisco Private Internet Exchange (PIX) Firewall administration, VPN setup and maintenance for our
partners located off-site and our remote users
 HP switches and Cisco routers setup, administration and troubleshooting, VLANs and inter-VLAN
routing, printing services, moves-adds-changes management, DHCP and DNS administration
 Assist our User Support group in networking related problems
 Prepare Information Security Policies and enforcement procedures, including Connection
Agreements with our Contractors. Our team managed to control virus outbursts such as Nachi
worm in Winter and Spring of 2004
 ISO 17799 and BS 7799 Toolkit, to start implementing information security management system
according to these international standards
 Provide my LAN technicians with all tools and materials they need to perform due quality work
 Maintain, and periodically report in writing, LAN hardware inventory and software configuration of
the networking equipment – configuration change management
Project Title: Contractors’ Extranet
Period: September 2003 – April 2004
Environment: Windows NT family, 9x family, 100Base-FX backbone, media converters,
various Contractor switched/repeated distribution networks, Cisco router,
Linux e-mail and file-sharing server for Contractors
The management wanted to have an Extranet with a number of on-site Contractor Companies, so their
personnel would have controlled access to our internal applications. Project was delivered in time, and
there were no budgetary constraints.
My role:
 Design of the network topology, VLAN planning and inter-VLAN routing, Access Control Lists and
Policy-Based Routing, Data Network Connection Agreements as part of the Extranet Policy,
choosing hardware and software platforms for networking equipment
 Preparing the Layer 1, 2 and 3 requirements for purchase and installation. Supervision and
verification of optical fibre installation and termination, setup of Contractors’ switch, router and
server to suit the technical and security specifications, installation of client application software in
Contractors’ location for their staff to connect to our application servers
 Working with representatives of Contractors, based on Data Network Connection Agreements, to
get their users connected to our servers as per Management decisions
Project Title: Optical fibre infrastructure
Period: April 2004 – May 2004
Environment: 9/125, 62.5/125 and 50/125 µm optical fibre cables, 1000Base-LX, SX
and 100Base-FX backbone, switched distribution network
Slow network under heavy load, especially Monday mornings. We have been adding ~500 new computers
and printers in the past months, and the Bit Error Rate climbed significantly. People in some areas of my
LAN just could not check their e-mail.
My role:
 Create an inventory of all optical fibre cables installed with physical, length and optical data for
each cable, types of connectors and patch cords used and search for mismatches
 Raise Purchase Requisition to eliminate mismatches found, like 50-μm pigtails spliced to 62.5
fibres, and adding new cables to supplement the bandwidth between the buildings for our
expanding network
 Start a campaign to measure and certify the optical fibre network infrastructure, after deficiencies
are remedied. Prepared Optical Fibre Infrastructure Documentation report.

3. Project Title: LAN in new buildings
Period: May 2004 – July 2004
We needed to supplement our office buildings, since more people were coming in for Plant
Commissioning activities.
My role:
 Design the network for the estimated number of users and determine materials and quantities
needed based on building blueprints and Management guidelines
 Raise Purchase Requisition to acquire and install fibre and copper networking infrastructure, as
well as HP switches and components
 Supervise installation and testing of the networking infrastructure
DETACAN S.A., Cernavoda (May 1999 – July 2002)
Company Profile: Water treatment and distribution
Work Function: Network Administrator
Project Title: Network consulting and administration
Period: May 1999 – October 2001
Environment: Windows NT 4.0 Server, Windows 9x, Fast Ethernet repeated network
The management wanted to install a computer network, since they had only PCs that were not connected
in a LAN. Project was delivered in time, with marginal cost overrun.
My role:
 Launching the Purchase Requisitions and choosing the best option. Involved in physical network
installation, setup of Windows NT Server and Windows 9x clients, installation of application
software

scanning, replacing faulty hardware parts, upgrading hardware and software
 Training the employees in IT security issues, to obtain their adherence to security procedures
Project Title: In-house Application Programming
Period: January 2000 – July 2002
Environment: Microsoft FoxPro, Windows 9x, Fast Ethernet repeated network
A Water Production Application (WPA) was needed, which had to be tailored to the document workflow
and business model of the company, as well as to regulatory requirements. The main objectives of this
Project were achieved.
My role:
 Preparing the application specification and database structure for WPA and reporting application
 Coding the programs in FoxPro using built-in SQL instructions such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE,
to allow for a painless conversion of the source code for future work under Sybase SQL
 Establishing and enforcing procedures for field data acquisition and computer data entry
 Solving numerous problems with newly-acquired FoxPro financial-accounting applications
 Reducing operator workload of applications
