Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Parker is a seasoned network specialist with over 11 years focused on designing, migrating, and hardening enterprise Cisco-based infrastructures across state and municipal organizations. He began as a mainframe programmer and pivoted into networking, building deep expertise in firewalls (Drawbridge, PIX, ASA, Firepower), routing (BGP, iBGP, eBGP, EIGRP), and Cisco switching platforms from Catalyst 6500 to 9500 series. David has led major technology transitions—VMware compute and NetApp storage migrations, replacing static WAN routing with BGP, and deploying Cisco DNA Center and ISE to roll out fabrics at scale—while keeping production uptime. Comfortable across hardware, security, and orchestration, he pairs hands-on operations with planning and automation experience such as NCS Prime, SolarWinds, and NetFlow-based monitoring. Based in Austin, he brings a pragmatic mindset shaped by decades of legacy-to-modern network transformations and a rare background that spans mainframe roots to contemporary SDN fabrics.
