As a senior Operator it was my responsibility to oversee that the banks VAX/VMS systems were running to SLA’s. Also included was hardware and software support for all the banks staff based at two separate sites within London. I was also involved in hardware and software support for the main dealer systems.

I started my IT career at Citymax in 1989 as a Computer Operator using VAX/VMS systems and DOS PC’s and applications. After a few years I was transferred to Credit Suisse London and furthered my career within the banking environment. From here I gained much experience in Visual Basic programming and the use and minor programming of UNIX systems. Also it was my starting point for Microsoft NT Servers and desktop application software.
