Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Blank is a seasoned network engineer with over nine years in his current role and a career in IT and communications stretching back to the 1970s. Based at UM Baltimore Washington Medical Center, he authored the network specification that standardized BWMC’s communication rooms and led major infrastructure projects including fiber LIU layouts, Cisco core switch rollouts, and IP PoE camera deployments. He blends hands-on cabling and rack design with systems integration—supporting EMR installs like EPIC and Cerner—and has repeatedly modernized legacy hospital networks during renovations and tower builds. Earlier roles show deep roots in Novell and EDS-era systems administration and a knack for tackling hardware-level repairs and custom PC builds. Known for preferring to “fix things,” he pairs practical field experience with formal Cisco and Novell certifications, and brings a practical, infrastructure-first perspective that keeps clinical systems reliably connected.
