SUMMARY:

• I am interested in applying for the Network Administrator position. My career has given me experience as an engineering assistant, network administrator, application and/or network support, software development, data management and recovery, databases, spreadsheet on DOS, Windows, or UNIX OS. I have over 20 years of computer support in many different industries while completing my BS degree in Computer Science at Metropolitan State College using C++, Java, and Visual Basic. Giving both school and work my full attention has led to more responsibilities increase my broad communication skills, and understanding to what was needed through my queries.
• Confidential Corp. did not have any direct computer personnel. Having been in the IT industry for over 15 years, I knew the organization of productivity and management. I set up a remote office in Rifle, Colorado that collect data from 300 producing wells in the field and through developing the TCP/IP for travelling engineers. Using the SCADA system, the new office will relay data to the Rifle office and then Denver. This entailed ordering computers, printer, scanner, switchboard, and fax. With Qwest, I set up a DSL with two separate phone lines which was interpreted as two DSL lines that I had to correct. I’ve also coordinated a network change and mainframe room change.
• Using Symantecs for the daily backup, I was able retrieve data for users or groups that they unknowingly changed or deleted. I coordinated a move of the Outlook email from a Linux Server using VPN (virtual private network) to the Exchange Server on a Windows 2003 Server. The email is now backed - up on the server and also gave traveling personnel means of getting their email directly. Before the change, personnel would have to leave their computers on and forward company emails through commercial carriers with the email downloaded to the PC, thereby erased on the server. This inhibited the backup from completion. I saved the company money in conversion by sending a helping worker home after the individual PCs were done. After finding an error performed by the helping worker, I spent 4 more hours correcting their error in copying old emails, contacts, and deleting the old architecture.
• After my Excel mapping of the company computer system, I had dealt with the physical network routing and switching. I also manually connected three notebooks to the wireless network and many more wired computers. Using the Active Directory, I told which policy, read/write/execute, a user can have on any drive/directory/software on the network. I've uploaded and used Adobe FlashBuilder and Flex.
• Researched and interviewed 9 copier/printer/fax/scanner vendors to decide which one was more viable for the Land Department at Confidential Corp. . I was responsible for monitoring more than 50 PC users who had access through the Active Directory and support with hardware/software questions. I also bought and discarded PC equipment and installed network updates of various PC/System software. I implemented the company-wide network security statement and ensured signatures of acknowledgement by all end-users.
• Thank you for considering me for this opportunity. As the only hired IT personnel, I implemented, managed, maintained and supported all the hardware and software of the network and system for the company. With this position, I was the liaison between the company staff and IT vendors or outside company associates. I am highly motivated to apply the knowledge that I have acquired and eager to learn new skills. The s and letters of recommendation I can supply will attest to my problem solving skills, dependability and dedication as an employee.
