Professional networks engineer with proven leadership skills, interpersonal skills, andand project management experience.

Leadership skills employ a range of techniques and methodologies that span from organizational structure, planning, and completion.

As a network engineer, I'm responsible for installing, maintaining and supporting computer communication networks within an organisation or between organisations. My goal is to ensure the smooth operation of communication networks in order to provide maximum performance and availability for their users (staff, clients, customers, suppliers, etc).

I started my career by working externally as part of an IT networking consultancy firm working with a number of clients & now i work internally as part of an organisation's IT support team.

The work is influenced by the size and type of the employing organisation. In a large investment bank, for example, a network engineer may have specific responsibility for one area of the system; in a small company, the engineer may be troubleshooter for almost any IT-related problem that arises.

There are different types of network, such as: local area networks (LANS), linking a limited area such as a home, office or small group of buildings; metropolitan area networks (MANS), linking a large area such as a campus or city; wide area networks (WANS), which link nationally or internationally; and global area networks (GANS),

combining all of the above with satellite mobile communication technologies. The type of network will affect the engineer's responsibilities.
