As technology director I support 500 users at central office and remote locations. I deployed and maintain 250 end users utilizing wireless and software in the field. I develop, maintain and supervise CQI systems for program integrity, and maintain databases of state, city, and in-house systems. I've developed program specific databases for specialized reporting and continue to maintain them. I also provide support for model-specific web-based reporting systems. Most recently I configured and deployed Electronic Health Record System and reporting software.A few of my proudest accomplishments: • I installed and customized QuickBase, an online database, to track end-user activity, pinpoint areas where projects were held up, and report statuses of ongoing projects. This increased project success by 15%.• I installed and configured Dropbox for Business to facilitate collecting and sharing data, documents and recordings by end-users, managers, staff and consultants in a real-time environment. This reduced the frequency • I reduced end-user downtime to less than .1% per year.

As Network Administrator I supported 100 users in two different locations connected by a Cisco VPN. Some of the improvements I made include:● I built out a new high availability data center and replaced the entire desktop infrastructure. This resulted in reduced downtime during maintenance and upgrades. The hardware I introduced contributed to increased bandwidth and faster data delivery speed. Reducing the time it took for backups meant data was easier to recover, so I could access it within in two hours instead of the 24 hours it took prior to my upgrades. ● When the physical plant was relocated I transitioned all personal computers and network connectivity with no downtime. End-user access was uninterrupted. ● A new security system I installed completely eliminated virus infections which had been frequent until that point.● I developed and implemented a 9/11 disaster recovery plan. No data was lost and there were no interruptions to business activities when I shifted the data center operations.
