Summary
Matt Bowman is a senior network engineer and manager with over 20 years of hands-on experience designing and operating large national and international WANs for enterprise and retail environments. At Hobby Lobby he architected fully redundant core and security infrastructures—Nexus fabrics, ASR routers, Cisco Sourcefire and firewalls—and led large-scale wireless and VPN deployments supporting thousands of APs and hundreds of remote sites. He combines deep Cisco expertise and a long history of certifications (CCNP/CCDP, CMNO, Palo Alto ACE) with practical project delivery, having built off-site datacenters and managed connectivity for 700+ locations. Comfortable leading teams or working independently, he’s equally skilled at translating technical solutions for customers and ensuring PCI/security compliance. A pragmatic problem-solver who treats outages as opportunities, he also brings a background in federal and military network projects that honed his discipline for on-time, under-budget rollouts. Based in Oklahoma City, he blends architectural vision with day-to-day operational mastery of complex, high-availability networks.
