My grandfather gave my mom and I our first computer when I was a kid. I remember going through all of the settings, changing everything and seeing what happened. Naturally I messed that computer up pretty good, and eventually I learned how to fix it on my own.

Since then I’ve learned to code and built software projects, I’ve learned how to build and troubleshoot computer networks and servers, I learned how to keep learning and then I worked at it for the next 13 years. Now I work as senior technician and customer service manager for a local consulting outfit.

Thanks grandma and grandpa!

Experience:

  • Project management: I can, and have, organized and executed large multi-tiered infrastructure and software changes for businesses. This includes costing, budget management, coordinating with and scheduling technical resources, and assuring that the customer is kept in the loop the entire way through
  • Software development experience with a variety of languages, primarily C# and JavaScript (NodeJS, Express, Angular, etc)
  • Experience implementing MikroTik, EnGenius, Ubiquiti and really whatever else is on hand to build practical, easy to use and secure networks
  • Experience with Windows Server (Active Directory, DHCP/DNS, network file shares, group policy, etc)
  • HyperV, VMware and Virtualbox. Setting up, maintaining and migrating between all three when the situation calls for it
  • Office 365 migrations from Exchange, POP3, IMAP, Google or your friend’s hosting company
  • Web experience, I guess we’ll say. I know about DNS, what you need to change from one email provider to another. What to do to move your website from one hosting company to another. Or one backend to another. All of the things that piss people off about running websites I know about and can probably help with

Personal stuff:

  • Natural systems analysis skills
  • Able to organize and apply abstract concepts in order to solve complex problems
  • Highly people-oriented with experience in managing and participating in projects large and small
  • I also play violin and enjoy the outdoors
