Dean designed and implemented an upgraded IP network for RSA. I was very impressed with his deep knowledge of network architecture and products and the solution he delivered did a great job of meeting our needs. Although he possesses complex technical knowledge, skills and abilities, his adept and personable communication style enabled the two-way exchanges necessary to quickly assess requirements on the front end and then provide knowledge transfer of the solution for technical staff. I would most definitely recommend Dean for IT Professional Services.
