I have worked with a wide variety of hardware and software at all levels. I’m adept at understanding end users’ needs from entry level employees to senior management. I’m very creative when it comes to problem solving; whether I am building SQL queries for executive reports, working on custom CRM programming, or troubleshooting a network connectivity issue. Over the years, I have developed a concise set of ideas that has served me well:A simple solution that accomplishes your goal is always better than a complex one.No matter how highly you regard your idea, there is always a superior, more efficient approach. Don’t fall in love with a solution simply because you thought of it. Be willing to adopt other people’s solutions.Always add more redundancy beyond what you think you need in anything that can be considered mission critical. IT should be aligned with strategic goals of a company and not an island unto itself.I am confident that I would be a tremendous asset to any organization.
