experience

IT Director | Gulf Bay Development Inc.

March 2001 - Current

My responsibilities include the maintenance, upgrading and supporting of over 200 desktop computers, more than 15 servers, multiple local, wan, and wireless networks as well as software installation and maintenance.  I am also responsible for all communications and data connections.  This includes cellular phones, landlines, PBXs and switches, and data network connections.  Further responsibilities include assessment and assistance with all things of a technical nature. My responsibilities are very hands-on in nature. We do 90% of all projects, changes, and maintenance ourselves. We do have some maintenance contracts for our phone systems and some of our Cisco equipment. We are using all Cisco routers and switches for any of our main infrastructure needs. We also deploy some lower cost equipment in non-essential areas. I currently manage on technician, but managed three technicians at our peak.

I also created and maintained basic budgets for IT and company wide technology and security needs. The level of budgeting did not include any real processing of funds, just general allocations based on users, and known or projected costs.

SR Lan Administrator | Chase (formerly Bank One)

December 1996 | February 2001

Responsible for LAN support and PC desktop setup/installation/troubleshooting.  This includes setting up and installing Netware servers, maintaining 99% Netware server up-time, setting up and installing PC hardware/software, creating disk images for different PC hardware, making site visits to Bank One branches and offsite campuses, setting up objects in NDS using NW Admin, research and testing of corporate standard software and hardware, using the Internet to find driver/application updates, Installing NAL applications and scripts and working with users to determine hardware/software requirements.  Also requires assisting users in understanding how some applications/systems function.  Other duties include filling out forms for software and hardware orders and filling out requests for software and hardware installations.

This position began as a contract through CIBER. I spent the first three years on the treasury management software development help desk. I assumed a lead role very quickly. This quick assumption of responsibility was due to my ability to assess the source of problems quickly, and the ability to work effectively with customers over the phone. This position also involved travel to customer sites for more in-depth troubleshooting and resolution. I also maintained and updated (queries/reports/relationships) the call tracking database used by this help desk. I essentially became the go-to guy for the 1st tier help desk staff, 2nd and 3rd tier help desk staff, the help desk manager, and the IS development staff. I helped resolve very technical program issues and resolved the toughest client issues. The remainder of my employment here was spent performing the Sr Lan Administrator functions described above.

IT Consultant | CIBER, Inc.

September 1995 | December 1996

Worked as a programmer analyst at First Chicago NBD (now Chase).  Responsible for product Alpha/Beta testing and support of corporate based products.  Setup Test Lab to emulate customer environments.  The primary product was called NBDNET.  It is an Online Banking product for Corporate customers.  Also responsible for product testing and support of several other products including an imaging product, an ACH product and any/all communications programs a customer may have been using to connect to our online banking system.  This support involved both internal and external customer support.  The majority of customers were within Michigan but some travel out of state was required.  Also responsible for maintenance/enhancement to a Microsoft Access database application that we used to track customer support calls.  This database required extensive modification as our needs evolved.  Acquired some HTML training during this position.  This was a PC based support position.
