KENNETH W COOPER WORK HISTORY BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION I have been working in the IT industry since the early-90s and was playing with computer technology since I was in about middle school. I have worked for companies such as Compaq (HP), ATT Baerd/Lucent Technologies, IBM Corp., Local Computer Consulting companies in Houston, TX, Shreveport/Bossier, Louisiana and Biloxi Mississippi. I decided to join the Air Force in 1998 and started as an Air Traffic Controller before finally transitioning back into communications as a Network Systems Controller, Architecture Integration Specialist, Cyber Systems Architecture and finally Telecommunications Engineering Specialists and Security Manager, Information Assurance Specialist, and Network and Systems Security Professional. I have more recently been employed for Lockheed Martin and CGI Corp. I have certifications from CompTIA (Security + as well as SME (Subject Matter Expert for Network +), ISC2 as a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and I CompTIA CASP certification trained, I have extensive Cisco experience (CCNA Certified, CCNP, CNET, CDA, CCNA Security), Microsoft Experience (MSCA, MSCE, Server, Exchange, Active Directory, etc.). I have worked with Juniper, Timeplex, and Long Haul communications in both enterprise, corporate, military and deployed locations. I have experience with Java, C, C++ Visual Basic and Visual C# programing as well as some less used languages such as BASIC, ADA, PASCAL and MASM. I hold a master's degree in Computer Engineering from Colorado Technical University and am within a few months of completing my Doctorate of Computer Science final defense for terminal degree conferment. I have been Active duty Air Force for a little more than 16 years and have worked primarily in the communications and communications security career field. I have built several different system architectures from the ground up, and in deployed locations. I have had design input for multiple communications platforms that are currently in use by the Department of Defense and the Air Force today. I have done design input for computer business systems as well as database systems for National corporations such as Compaq (HP), as well as Harrah’s Casino and IBM Corp. I have a very wide range of technical knowledge and skills that run the gamut of Windows Operating systems to Network architecture to Information Systems security. I also have knowledge of Quality Assurance Evaluation procedures along with Information Assurance and systems operations testing and evaluation for Fiber, ATM, and Satellite Warning systems as well as the Global Missile Warning system and the Global Command and Control Satellite Network. I am an active member for several IEEE working groups that have either written, re-written or improved several standards, to include, Ethernet over HDMI, mobile and wireless standards and various other national and international communications and telecommunications standards as governed by the IEEE and ISO etc. I attend the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) every year in Las Vegas to stay up on the latest and greatest trends in technology across the world in the consumer market. I also attend a few conferences a year from companies such as Oracle and Texas Instruments.
I am an Adjunct Professor at Colorado Technical University and Southern New Hampshire University, teaching Computer Science, Advanced Networking, Systems Architecture and Security, and Information Technology for the Computer Science and Information Technology departments.
