Network Engineer

"I've worked at Univar for 11 months, the scope of responsibility and impact is large and defining but the depth of technology and utilization of raw route, switch & IP troubleshooting leaves more to be desired. Great people, great location - but I can't have a 1 year of experience, 2 to X times situation compared to my aspirations."
