IT Technician and Manager versed in the planning, upgrading, installations and conversions of infrastructure and systems. A background blended with technical, business, process review-streamlining, project management and people management.Technology is a tool, albeit very powerful, and when used with a thorough review of the business in the current, historic and future form then one can combine them in a very powerful way to achieve methodically and efficiently the goals and objectives desired. There are many ways to accomplish the business goals, resolve business issues, reduce costs and expand the ability of staff and technology if an open mind is kept. Security is critical to providing the best infrastructure and service and absent tight security there is not much business or economic sense in building any infrastructure. I have always maintained the “open mind” philosophy so that all options are considered before implementing technical or business changes. Experience on virtually all platforms both hardware and software which enables the best technologies resulting in the best IT infrastructure.A sound understanding of the Financial-Gaming, Academic-Not-for-Profit, Retail, Health-Care, Academic and General Business arena’s have allowed me to find the most cost effective yet state of the art infrastructures providing the highest level of service to the business and the clients.This combined experience has given me the ability to achieve the most efficient daily operations while keeping focus on the strategic goals to allow the business to change and grow. Working with staff at all levels, vendors and clients is key to obtaining the persuasion and trust in each project regardless of size.
