Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Baxter is a Senior Systems Analyst based in Edmonton with 11+ years of hands-on experience designing and maintaining robust networked systems across academia, data centers, and enterprise environments. He specializes in IP networking, security, Unix platforms (Linux, BSD, Solaris), VOIP, and complex troubleshooting, and has repeatedly led migrations and infrastructure refreshes—most recently migrating CSJ Linux servers at the University of Alberta. His career blends long-term consulting and contractor roles with senior engineering and lead positions at Switch and other firms, showing an ability to adapt from hands-on NOC work to architectural responsibilities. A self-taught lifelong learner with formal CNA and CompTIA credentials, he often applies cross-discipline practical knowledge (from hardware to networking to security) to solve knotty operational problems. Notably comfortable in both university and high-density data center contexts, he brings pragmatic, security-aware engineering to mission-critical systems.
