Database Administrator Resume Grand Rapids, MI - Hire IT People

SUMMARY:

I have been an information technology professional since 1985. I have been working as a DBA since 1999. My database experience includes many years of work supporting and developing projects in Microsoft SQL Server. I have experience on SQL Server 7.0, 2000, 2005 and 2008. I have some experience with the Oracle database platform. I enjoy investigating and learning new languages, tools, and techniques on my own. I work well in a team environment, providing strong analytical skills and have earned an excellent reputation for the quality of my work.
I would like to find a company that would be able to utilize my experience as a SQL Server DBA and also my developer skills and at the same time allow me to expand my skills with additional Oracle experience and new programming languages and techniques. I want to continue to develop new skills that will increase my value to the company and help them achieve their goals.
