I completed transformed this company’s IT infrastructure and personnel. This was a small company that enjoyed explosive growth in a very short amount of time, but didn’t have the infrastructure or expertise to support and operate at that level. After developing a 5-yr IT Roadmap, I replaced just about every single back-end component with best-in-class server and networking equipment, designed for redundancy and scalability.I designed the infrastructure, spec’d out all the hardware, managed vendor contracts and licensing, personally completed the installation and configuration of the server and storage (and managed a contracted Network Engineer for the network side).And this was all done while creating numerous policies and procedures for consistency and security, supporting standard corporate services (file, print, AD, email, telephony, Helpdesk, etc), managing an office relocation, supporting 2 other Development offices, setting up a DR site and creating detailed documentation and diagrams of everything.I also performed code rollouts through Dev, Test, Staging and Production, and provided technical guidance in non-IT department initiatives. And all progress was reported weekly with senior management.Select Accomplishments:Slashed wireless phone costs 60% through implementing BES and corporate calling plan for all company cell phones.Deployed fully fault-tolerant disaster recovery solution using VMWareSpearheaded data center migrationDecreased capital expenditure costs by replacing aging hardware servers with VMWare virtual servers, utilizing fewer servers and maximizing investment in new hardware. Removed ad hoc infrastructure, buggy custom scripts, and non-standard operating systems, thus increasing compatibility and ease of administration while decreasing complexity, conflicts, and troubleshooting time.Improved WAN performance by 70% and reduced code release time with no cost increase
