Summary & background

Nexbridge is a Tier 2 ITSP, operating its own high-velocity, short-duration IP voice network. It has interconnects with large telecommunications providers and hosts its own number ranges. The core USP is a high-velocity, short-duration telecommunications network, catering predominantly to call centre environments and larger organisations.

My place in the company

My projects here included customer VPN setups, intranet implementations, Layer 2 and Layer 3 network implementations, BGP multihoming, customer MPLS links, OSPF and Least Cost Routing, Linux server management and building, fibre interconnections, 802.1q VLAN structuring, IPS, network security and access control systems, SQL Server building, IPv4/v6 engineering, LAMP/LEMP stack creation, Asterisk voice gateway builds, OpenSIPS SBC management and maintenance.

Day-to-day was managing and monitoring the network infrastructure and ensuring that it ran at peak performance, including monitoring and continually assessing risks and attack vectors that came to light during the ongoing development of our products.

It was also my responsibility to fully install, implement and maintain our web, voice and networking infrastructure in 2 datacentre locations. I wrote the vast majority of the infrastructure management, interactivity and automation software used every day by the engineering and support teams.

I gained a great deal of knowledge and experience working for this company, diversifying my skills immensely.
