  • Brightpoint
    Linux Administrator
    Brightpoint Jul 2012 - Nov 2012
    This position was a three (3) month contract that was extended for staff augmentation. This position was to fill in between the leaving administrator and the hiring of the new Linux administrators. The environment was to support and maintain about 150 Linux servers both SuSE and RedHat. Of these servers about 15% were physical and the rest were virtualized in four (4) VMware Clusters. Most of the physical servers were Oracle database environment (Stand-alone, RAC, Data Guard). About 50% of their servers required PCI and SOX auditing. When I started, all the Linux servers were manually managed. This meant to create a login, one would have to login to each server and execute the needed commands. The server had never been patched after they were created. I performed two major projects during my time at BrightPoint. One project was to create a centralized patching repository for all the version of Linux. The other was working with the incoming administrators to in install a centralized management environment. Some of my other tasks included doing root cause analysis on outages and taking corrective measures. I also worked with the Compliance department several time in creating audit scripts and reports that would extract needed information for all servers to support both internal and external audits. There was always the need to work with the internal department for tuning and troubleshooting of their applications that ran on many of the Linux Servers.

  • Enterprise Services Management, Inc.
    President
    Enterprise Services Management, Inc. 1995 - 1998
    Enterprise Management Service was involved in three major fields of computer technology today: Enterprise Management is a field which works with the management of local and remote computer systems (Servers, Workstations, and printing devices). The management of these systems range from alerting of a failure to the pre-failure diagnostics and notification. This allows either System Administrators or Expert systems to repair the problem before the users on the systems even know there was a problem. Management of the Enterprise also deals with the control of processes running in the systems; Financial processing, Backups, Archiving, uses of the Internet and many other business required processes. Network Support involves the installation and support of networking systems. Both Novell and Microsoft Networks have their advantages and disadvantages. Enterprise Management Services helps customers to best decide which system best fits their business needs. After the decision has been made, Enterprise Management Services assists the customer in the installation and training of the users and support staff on the equipment the business has purchased. Migration Support is working with companies to help them achieve their long range goals. Some of the more typical discussions concern how or why a company should move to a newer platform. Enterprise Management Services works with Novell and Microsoft to understand the emerging technologies. Enterprise Management Services has also worked with both Microsoft and Novell in many product developments, as a participant in beta programs that each of these companies have sponsored.

The functionality of the disaster recovery site was transparent to the day-to-day operations for all the corporate and store users of the systems.

In addition to responsibilities for the tracking system, other responsibilities included supervision of the computer operations of the typesetting department and the implementation of enhanced Desktop Publishing using both Window and Macintosh computers. Initial evaluations of the typesetting department revealed that two typesetters were utilizing 12 different software application packages and yielding poor quality and quantity production. Following successful training to address problems in quality, a training and software package was developed to reduce the number of software packages being used to three applications. After reducing the applications count and conducting required training, production levels were determined to have dramatically improved, thus production was above the level that was considered acceptable for the typesetting department.

  • Isu
    Student & Support Tech.
    Isu 1981 - 1985
    The foundation for valuable knowledge of computer was formed while working at ISU's Computer Center and attending classes in the Electronics Department. Interests in robotics lead to work with Dr. Larry Heath, a professor in ISU's electronics department, on a textbook regarding robotics. I Assisted, Dr. Heath, in the development and creation of labs and experiments for his text book, “Fundamentals of Robotics”. Labs ranged from closing relays through computer interfaces to building hardware and software which would allow a robot to play an interactive game of tic-tac-toe. These involvements with robotics lead to a term serving as the local President of the National Organization of Robotics International. Employment with the ISU Computer Center came after the completion of two years of undergraduate studies. Was able to utilize knowledge of electronics to troubleshoot and repair computer equipment used throughout the ISU campus. During this time the campus was upgrading to PC computing. As the concept of PC's developed, the need for standalone PC's soon became secondary to the need for Local Area Networking. With my involvement in the evaluation and setup of the various networking environments, it lead to myself managing and supporting of the campus's first Novell network for over two years. The network supplied access for over 400 students to Dbase III, Lotus 123, and a host of word processors. This network evolved to include fiber segments, adding access to remote PC clusters.
