Hi this is the wiki page of David Sheddan.

I'm 28 years old (born 1980 in case I forget to up this), rather than just deciding to add to my digital footprint needlessly, I've decided to sign up for a site that is actually going to be some use to someone, mainly me I hope.

I currently reside in Glasgow, Scotland, but split my time between Glasgow and the continent where I work (currently based between Glasgow, and Brest, Brittany, France).

I'm technology daft- I love anything to do with it, and believe if done right it can truely empower and ultimately change the world. The thing that annoys me the most about it, is that technology and technologic projects fail not because of the inherint weakeness is teh core technologies, but in the poor planning and understanding of those who are putting them into practice.... I aim to change that.

My key areas of study and knowledge are voice and data networks. I'm Cisco certfied, currently within the CCNP level, and am specialist in advanced routing protocols and enterprise network design. I work as a Level 3 NOC specialist for an offshoot of Alcatel dealing with global voice solutions and networks.

I am ACFE and CCNA, and by year end will be ACSE CCNP. I intend to continue studying for the rest of my life, to become a guru, perhaps a CCIE (or might just start my own company). I'd like to learn Juniper networking next, and spend a healthy amount of time running the new open source router- Vyatta. I will be comleting Vyatta certifitcation as soon as it is available.
