Detail-oriented Operations & IT Specialist combining 10+ years of professional leadership, financial analysis, and operational coordination with an MS in Management Information Systems and CompTIA Network+ credentials[cite: 1, 2]. Skilled at bridging complex business processes with technical execution, implementing segmented network infrastructures, writing standard operating procedures (SOPs), and managing end-user technology resources[cite: 1, 2].
Problem: High CPU utilization (peaking at 90%+) on the core managed switch caused by video stream ingestion, leading to latency and packet drops across local interfaces.
Root-Cause Analysis: Isolated the performance degradation to high-bitrate RTSP streams from a Reolink IP camera entity flooding unconstrained multicast channels across default switch ports.
Resolution: Isolated all surveillance hardware onto dedicated Camera VLAN 30, enabled IGMP Snooping on Omada switches to restrict multicast traffic, and optimized stream settings in Frigate. Re-established baseline switch CPU load to under 10%.
