Experience:

2006.08 - Present	Null Max
Network and Systems administrator / Application developer / DBA / etc.

Null Max is an Oregon based hosting provider that I have had the opportunity to do an extensive amount of work for. As the lead network/systems administrator, it has been my responsibility to install and configure client systems in NullMax's network, manage switches, routers and all other aspects of the network to ensure 100% uptime and maximum possible throughput. In terms of application development, I was responsible for creating a unique system for automatic provisioning of server resources for customers, to provide the fastest available turn around time from customer order to production system availability.

2006.05 - present	Jivanjee Architect
IT Manager / Programmer / DBA / etc.

In my short time so far with Jivanjee Architect I have vastly improved their security, and utilization of available resources.  My primary daily responsibilities include management of their MS Server 2k3 based PDC (Active Directory), and all other networked attached resources (File servers, Win XP Pro, Win 2k, and Linux based workstations and laptops, etc.).  I was responsible for migrating their in-house mail server from Exchange to Sendmail for increased security and reliability, and their HTTP server from IIS to Apache.  I was also tasked with creating a curriculum to teach the architectural design program "SketchUp".  I have regular duties also including: AutoCad troubleshooting, Printer/Scanner setup/trouble shooting, help desk style duties.  This job has included some travel to other office sites, and extensive phone and email based support.  Perhaps the most important thing I've done while at Jivanjee Architect is to be the project manager and sole programmer for a document management application suite that they have already begun to market and sell.  I have also been able to put to use my debugging and technical writing skills in a software acquisition project with a third party.  Other notable duties include: migrating from a legacy "keyed" telephone system to an IPPBX system with all new phones, and trunking to their different office sites; server and workstation component acquisition and construction; and much more.

2005.10.01 - present	Blind Ambition (http://www.blindambition.info)
Webmaster

The dragon sports team “Blind Ambition” (America's first Visually impaired dragon boat team) hired me to do a complete redesign of their entire Internet “presence”, starting with their informational website.  My expertise in w3c and US section 501 standards is a great asset to Blind Ambition and with these skills I have produced a website that is not only easy to navigate in all browsers on a variety of hardware/software platforms, but will function seamlessly with adaptive technology for their visually impaired users.  This practice of accessibility and compatibility is not something I make use of only when creating websites for the impaired, but all websites I've created, in the interest of fulfilling the true goal of any website, which is to get information to the reader, regardless of how they're trying to access it.

I played an influential roll in the course of several projects, and drastically increased a particular projects earning potential.  I am a well rounded jack-of-all-trades that was capable of lending a hand in whichever department needed it.  My tasks regularly included the use of industrial scanning machines, resolving database issues, PC Tech support, quality control, and product delivery.

2004.07 - Present	Independent Living Resources (http://www.ilr.org)
Volunteer / Contract IT Specialist

My Volunteer work with ILR has consisted primarily of general office duties such as filing, copying, faxing, transcription, and answering phones. Other duties included document design/production for the design of fliers and public postings for various public events.  I have completed an independent safe driving course in the interest of becoming an available escort for their off-site events.  Experience with Excel/spreadsheets has been a plus in maintaining a "poor mans database" for their annual auction.
More recently my work with ILR has been on a paid contract basis for development of their network infrastructure and on-call PC tech support.

2001.04 - Present	Guide Dog Users of Oregon (http://www.gduo.org)
Web developer / Systems administrator

For the past 5 years I have maintained the GDUO website and performed several redesigns.  The website I have created for GDUO can be used as a prime example of W3C standards in practice, especially as they relate to adaptive technology. I have also maintained/administered the unix server which hosts gduo.org to maintain maximum website availability and provide email services. Occasionally my volunteer work with them will require I assemble custom computer systems tailored to the needs of visually impaired users, setup said hardware on-site, and provide training in the use of such systems and adaptive technology.

The list of Unix skills goes on, but for the sake of brevity I’ll leave it at that.  I feel at home with a GNU/Linux setup (Slackware/Redhat/etc.), but am reasonably comfortable with others such as *BSD and Solaris.  As for windows skills, I have a well rounded familiarity with everything from 3.1 to XP, and extensive knowledge of specialized programs for job related tasks.  I am an incredibly fast learner who will not hesitate to ask questions to ensure a proper understanding.

I also have extensive platform independent TCP/IP networking experience ( ~6 years).  From design of network topology to running/crimping cable and setup of routers, my experience with computer networks spans many operating systems and hardware platforms/device types.  Experience with LAN, VLAN, and WAN setups both wired and wireless.
