OVERVIEW:

With 13 years of experience as a Windows Systems Administrator, I have guided my career toward being a Windows Systems Administrator through various positions where I have designed, purchased, installed and maintained various solutions such as; VMware ESX, Windows Server 2003 & 2008 R2, Dell tape libraries, MS Exchange 2003, MS SQL 2008, CommVault backup, SharePoint, iSCSI SANs, SCSI arrays, DHCP, DNS, Active Directory, GPOs and more.

I have designed and implemented various solutions that gave process improvements through product purchases and in - house development using MS Access, SharePoint, VB.Net, Cold Fusion, and batch files.

During this time I’ve always been a helpdesk technician in addition to my other roles. My helpdesk experiences range from primary user computer issue to spending hours on the phone after hours with outside technical support to solve enterprise level issues. While being in these positions I would adhere to, correct, change and create policies or standards to ensure all work was done correctly and efficiently.
