QUALIFICATIONS

---

I have adapted to new systems, and situations. After joining GENESCO I became very proficient in Novell GroupWise e-mail systems. Since Joining Saint Thomas I have Led the project team to Migrate from 5.2 to 5.5 and further to 6.5. I especially like taking on challenging projects, and seeing them through to completion. I have setup and currently manage a Web Servers on NetWare and Windows servers to deliver a variety of web-based applications. I have also deployed Tivoli Storage Manager on AIX for enterprise wide Backup Solution. In the Directory space I have obtained certification as a CDE, and have deployed Identity Manager 2.x.

Since Beginning with CMS as a Contractor to GENESCO in 1997 I have only really worked for two companies, GENESCO and Saint Thomas. Starting with GENESCO as a contractor, and then being hired full time was a great opportunity in getting started with industrial experience. Moving to Saint Thomas Hospital, and having been outsourced to DCI has provided further experience, and training opportunities.

I have worked in the Networking / PC computing field since 1993. I have experience that began with WordPerfect 5.1 and DOS 3.x to most major and current software and hardware platforms. My focus has been on integration and cooperation between Operating Systems of various types. I have connected machines running everything from Windows 95, and OS/2 3.x through to Windows, Linux, Mainframe and Novell Servers. The main objectives were productivity of the user, ease of administration and security of the network.
