To Whom It May Concern
My name is Richard Ainslie, Lead Network Analyst for the Information Technology Services at California State University, East Bay. I would like to recommend Mr. Tim Haynie in regards to a recent professional services engagement he provided to the University.
The University contracted professional services via Aruba Networks and Milestone Technologies who in-turn assigned Mr. Haynie to our engagement. The scope of work encompassed enabling wireless gaming device registration and onboarding using our existing Aruba and Clearpass systems
Prior to the actual on-campus configuration and deployment for the desired service, Mr Haynie collected campus requirements and operational details of our existing in-production Aruba/Clearpass configuration. From this he indicated that he was able to develop a test environment of his own. The pre-planning and preparation was evident in the timely and efficient manner in which Mr. Haynie was able to work with our staff in building, testing the desired functionality, and providing some valuable knowledge transfer to our staff. Included in the knowledge transfer was guidance on how to administer and maintain these services, a valuable component in our maintaining these types of services over the months and years ahead.
As an independent observer of our existing enterprise services, Mr. Haynie offered constructive criticism on some configurations which he explained could present future services issues, or were not necessarily consistent with current best practices. A welcome professional assessment on a very complex set of systems.
Tim is very knowledgeable and experienced in both Aruba OS and ClearPass operation and configuration and I would recommend him for any future Clearpass engagement.
