I am a valuable and pro-active team player, with supervisory experience as a team leader of 5 members. Throughout my career, I have strived to deliver the best service and value for money by keeping company profit in mind, and I bring this to every project on which I work. I have implemented systems which play a vital role in attaining contracts, some worth over $10M, and designed systems that reduce total cost of ownership. I have a solid commitment to improving IT systems through:
· Network Infrastructure redesign
· Computer System Configurations and Tuning
· Database System Configuration and Tuning
· Exchange Server Installation and Configuration
· Client Security and Monitoring
· Active Directory Service Implementations
· Total IT Infrastructure redesign and installations
I hold a Diploma in Information Technology (Network Engineering), and certifications in MCP, MCSA, CompTIA A+ and CompTIA Network+.
I have also completed courses in OH&S, Help Desk, and Communications and Project Management. As a result, I can offer you a combination of practical experience and up to date theoretical knowledge, coupled with an obsession for computer technology that began when I was 11.
