As a Systems Administrator, my objective was to provide advanced technical support, implementation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of core network devices such as servers, switches, firewalls, and wireless access points; onsite, over the phone, through email, and with remote support tools, for client users and devices. Tasks are assigned to me, or I assigned them to myself, or I gathered them from the client and complete them directly, or escalate the issue. I was the main POC for 10 clients with varying degrees of complexity. Provide administrative calls once a week to make sure that we are up to date on all of the clients needs and wants. I also scheduled time for onsite visits as well as manage any projects that the client wants to start. I was also the help desk team lead, making sure everyone stays on task and that the clients equipment had a quick turnaround.
