Résumé

Profile

My name is Rick Mur and I’m 24 years old, despite the fact of my relatively young age I have several years of experience with computers, networking and a little bit of software development. I am very tenacious and autodidact technical consultant / architect for Cisco and Juniper data-center and service provider networks. I am able to keep total overview of entire solution, while still able to dig deep into specific technological challenges.
5+ years experience in high-end service provider and datacenter networks.
