Contracting for the Department of Interior as a Master Computer Operator and employed by SAIC. As a contractor for the US Government I've had to go through an extensive background check. My duties include monitoring an IBM Mainframe (z/OS), our primary monitoring tool is BMC ProactiveNet we also use BMC Remedy for our ticketing system. While in this role I've gained new skills such as using MS Visio for a project to draw a full diagram of our data center including elevated views of each rack within. I've also began working on a new oncall tool which has allowed me to learn to roll out a LAMP Stack and develop coding skills in the process as well as really diving deep and practicing my usage of Linux. Within the first month of being here I created a task schedule in Google Sheets which allowed the team to stop using a printed sheet of paper that they would initial and pass on to different shifts. By doing this it allows for an easily shareable form that also has links to wiki articles quickly explaining how to do our day-to-day tasks.
