Friends of Detroit - Deploy Labs, WDS, VoIP, Metropolitan Area Network & 2² miles free WiFi ISP
Friends of Detroit is a grass roots initiative led by Michael Wimberley who owns several buildings and needed an easy and economical way to connect the buildings and the neighborhood’s potential customers to the internet. My job was to examine the operation at first. I surveyed the area and deployed a two square miles WiFi network. It uses NOCAT as a gateway with a secondary server for authentication against a MYSQL database. I installed two computer labs with a third under current development. I determined the wiring of the building and installed CAT5e to 22 rooms according to specifications. Additionally, I installed a telecommunications closet housing a DELL server running VMWare’s ESXi Hypervisor serving as primary Active Directory, DNS and DHCP servers on Windows 2003, as well as a Trixbox (Asterisk) VOIP Gateway and a RedHat Enterprise 3 authentication server for the wireless community network. Three additional computers serve as secondary Active Directory and DNS servers on Windows 2003, primary gateway using SmoothWall and the wireless community network gateway running on RedHat E3. A 1 terabyte SAN serves as storage for roaming user profiles, their data and documents as well as a repository for applications used in the classrooms and labs. I had to write some VBScript for most teaching software’s user data to be available across the network and simulate a roaming profile. This network was designed with security and availability in mind! All publicly accessible user profiles have strict group policies. Necessary flexibility was given to the staff profiles. All traffic is monitored, logged and suspicious activity is reported to me by SNORT. Only necessary connections are allowed from specific computers and internet traffic is virus scanned by ClamAV. Website content in public areas is monitored by Dan’sGuardian filtering software. Remote administration access is over a road-warrior style VPN tunnel, rather than a plain RDP or other remote desktop software. In other words; there is no direct way for anyone to gain or even attempt to gain unauthorized remote access. QoS traffic shaping ensures that all VOIP traffic has the highest priority. Finally, physical security was not neglected! All mission critical hardware is concealed and seaminglessly integrated into the building and under lock and key. |

National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition Champions CCDC- Proving Ourselves
The National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition is an exercise in defending a network against elite hackers that have breached the perimeter defense and are on the core network. Amongst others this competition is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, Northrop Grumman, Core, Microsoft, Cisco and is under surveillance of the FBI and CIA. As winners, my team was invited by Cornelius Tate (Director of Department of Homeland Information of Cyber Storm: http://www.dhs.gov/xprepresp/training/gc_1204738275985.shtm |

Intrepid Defense - Holographic Setup at Super Bowl XL with Homeland Security
This company developed a Pseudo Holographic System and needed a person for its implementation in the real world who had to understand the inner workings of this system. I enabled the system to render live content into holographic images. This technology was used for surveillance at the Super Bowl XL with Homeland Security. View: TechWeb.com Article |

McMathHulbert Observatory - Bridging the Digital Divide / Technology Director
I was the Technology Director at this organization for over four years and had been involved with them for other four prior years. We worked closely with Oakland Schools and persuaded them to reform their educational model. We established distance learning infrastructure in the late 1990s to early 2001. This was well before video conferencing became commonplace, especially in school districts. Furthermore, numerous community centers were established amongst poverty stricken areas in order to bridge “the digital devide.” View Website |

GoldenMisch - Web Development / DVD Authoring / Business Concept Development
GM was the dream of a friend of mine for a dental tool company that is now in full operation across the globe. I developed the initial website, DVD marketing and DVD instructional videos during its infancy. The DVDs made it all around the world with over 500 copies given out at trade shows or as part as an investor’s package. At this time, I am glad to have stepped back from this responsibility and let two larger companies take over these tasks. |
