Carl Melancon

Innovative Network Integration Engineer working within a secured multi-vendor environment. Twenty plus years working with the ARMY Tactical Network integrating the older circuit switched telephony system to the modernized system everything over IP.  Functioning as a Senior Network Instructor, Network Integration Engineer, and currently providing primary support for the DoD Government, Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) as a Tactical Network support engineer for the warfighter. Currently, maintain an active TS Clearance. I am passionate about God, family, and country and maintaining a positive attitude about life. One day, I picked up a book around 2005 and started reading about the OSI and thought, ‘this seems fun’. To my surprise the variety of skill sets learned in the military has migrated to the current and future dynamics of network communications.
