Patrick Struthers Email & Phone Number

There's really no way to shorten the 'summary' below the cut-line, so I won't, but....Insect-like specialization has become the thing, so I've bit the bullet and obtained some certifications: Salesforce App Builder and Administrator in July 2019, and Google Support Professional Certification in July 2018. I've discovered that it is best to learn SOMETHING in real depth so that I'll be the go-to guy when something hard needs to be done. But my breadth and experience keep me honest....30 years experience in IT. Database development, systems analysis, semi-pro coding and scripting, PC and small business network design, purchasing, installation, setup, upgrades, and repair. PC support services for business and residential customers. MS Windows since version 3.0, and Linux (preferred) since 1999. Project, process, and application documentation. Software setup of all kinds, including some development environments. Lately, software testing in the Agile/Scrum environment using automated tools such as JMeter, Selenium, and Postman, and Java. Currently Cayuse Technology is building a Salesforce development team and I am training toward a position there.-------------------------------------In 1998 to 2000, Systems Analyst for large solid/hazardous waste disposal company and entire IT department for two landfill facilities: PC hardware and software setup, support, maintenance; network infrastructure; phones.From 2003 to 2018, independent IT consulting.
