I worked for a division of Fidelity that collectively managed more than 60,000 PC/MacOS devices that made up Fidelity’s internal customer/employee network. In this role I functioned as a technical problem manager where I leveraged a variety of tools to help monitor the IT enterprise for product and performance issues.2012-2014 – This time was spent as an active advisor to multiple IT engineering and operations teams while also working hands-on to test and introduce products and concepts tied to cloud computing, BYO devices, alternative OS’s (MacOS & Linux), and Office 365. I also worked with different parts of the business to help package, distribute, and patch high-profile products such as Microsoft Office, McAfee Antivirus, 3rd party web browsers like Chrome & Firefox, as well as coming up with ways to audit and release regular updates for different industry common (but critical to maintain) applications, such as .NET, Java, and Flash player.In this role I used device management technologies such as JAMF and Microsoft SCCM device management and desired configuration management technologies to better regulate many of our production supported devices and applications.From a larger support standpoint, I also regularly assisted our Active Directory and Group Policy management teams, Windows OS patching teams, and automated product / operating system distribution teams. Much of this work was spent performing lab tests, helping to replicate odd problems, and reviewing new tools and technologies that might better target and eliminate unique challenges throughout the enterprise. I often also worked to help mentor our regional and call center IT support teams, usually by hosting weekly conference calls that kept them all up to date on what my team was working to solve and, helping to answer any questions or concerns they might have when it came to those problems.
