My career trajectory in IT has been largely shaped by my proficiency in Microsoft technologies, though I’ve recently branched out into the realm of open-source projects. As a technologist, I’ve cultivated a broad skill set across critical IT disciplines, with a particular focus on networking and security. This diverse experience has equipped me to implement solutions and streamline processes, significantly enhancing IT department efficiency and enabling staff to maximize their productivity. My drive to develop technology solutions stems from a passion for leveraging technology to bolster business operations and improve overall productivity. I recognize that effective technology solutions must be aligned with business needs and goals, rather than imposing unnecessary technological constraints.
In my prior positions, I have swiftly evaluated and documented a wide array of networking environments and systems. My experience with organizations at various stages of ITIL maturity has enabled me to introduce new solutions methodically, ensuring their successful adoption without disrupting ongoing business operations.
My background as a U.S. Navy veteran has instilled in me the values of punctuality and reliability, traits that are indispensable when managing mission-critical systems around the clock. Having served honorably until my discharge in 2001 as a First Class Electronics Technician (E-6), I transitioned to the civilian IT sector, bringing with me the instructional skills and leadership qualities honed during my military service. These experiences have enhanced my ability to communicate effectively with individuals at every organizational level.
