I was pleased to have been with Epocrates, an Athenahealth company, and later the parent company as system administrator.

One of the seminal employees in the Infrastructure Systems Group. Until recently one of two primary administrators of the company systems and networks. With the expansion of the group I've been able to specialize more on security and compliance.

Applied principles of Visible Ops to bring network under control and improve reliability. Implemented systems to monitor change. Established repeatable build libraries. Core network is Linux and Unix; Windows and proprietary devices on periphery.

I took over a custom application built with Progress on SCO OpenServer (Unix). No systemic work had been done on it in years other than bolting on a few extensions. No one was sure what code, system configurations, and services actually composed the application. Indeed, since it liberally used R commands to cross-execute it wasn't even clear on which.

Advising customers on implementing Tripwire change monitoring solutions, usually part of a SOX, PCI, NIST, HIPAA, or similar effort. Often integrated with external databases. As then constituted the position involved almost constant travel. Gave me an opportunity to observe and work with a number of world-class IT organizations.
