Lenny
Tropiano previously worked as one of the senior core members of the Information
Technology staff at an Austin, Texas high tech company. He designed,
implemented and managed an international global converged network (voice,
video and data). Lenny has been instrumental in developing and leading projects
that have a direct impact on cost reduction used for reinvestment for the company.
These include converging the internal networks, redistributing voice and
video traffic on the state-of-the-art QoS-enabled multi-gigabit
data network, developing and implementing a remote telecommuting project
with IPSEC VPN technology with two-factor authentication, and creating
an Asia-based operations over branch office Internet based VPN tunnel.
He integrated Voice over IP, unified messaging and personal productivity tools
(IP telephony) with the existing PBX and PSTN infrastructure
for hybrid communications, eventually to lead to phasing out the legacy systems
in favor of VoIP technology.
Lenny understands how to manage technology in the production and development
environments. With over 23 years of computer and network experience, that
most recently included heterogeneous Unix and Windows systems and network
design, implementation and administration (LAN through WAN; voice, video and data convergence),
and previously, Unix kernel programming/troubleshooting and web development.
Lenny is a patent co-author and magazine article co-author on ISDN technology. He was awarded
"Outstanding Quality Service" and "Contributor of the Quarter" awards by his previous
employers. He is an active participant in the Central Capital Texas LAN Association (Cisco SIG) and
Capital Area Central Texas Unix Society (CACTUS). He has an extremely
broad knowledge of networking, software and hardware systems.
