As senior engineer on Neuberger Berman's Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) team, I deploy and manage solutions that help other IT personnel, and employees in the firm at large, do their jobs better. Primarily building on the ServiceNow platform, I've created a number of solutions for the firm, including an extensive Service Catalog, service level agreement (SLA) management, surveys for end-user feedback, and asset management and discovery.• Created and manage a service catalog of several hundred items, allowing Neuberger Berman employees (both IT and non-IT) to request a broad array of items, including IT services, hardware, secure access to systems, and building services. Many of these requests are automated, utilizing PowerShell, SOAP, and other technologies, and therefore requiring no intervention by IT personnel for completion.• Built a robust asset-management system in ServiceNow. This system provides insight into all hardware and virtual machine assets managed by the IT Infrastructure Services team, including financial and deployment-state components. Along with ServiceNow’s Discovery module and interfaces with external systems, this system provides a real-time view into the state of the firm’s physical and virtual IT assets.• Deployed and manage many other key modules on the ServiceNow platform, including Discovery, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) Knowledge Base, Incident, Problem, and Change, and Surveys.• Maintain an active role in the ServiceNow community. I am active in the New York and New Jersey ServiceNow User Groups (SNUGs), and participate in the online ServiceNow mutual-support community. I also delivered a well-received session at ServiceNow’s global Knowledge14 conference, in which I detailed our use of PowerShell to automate ServiceNow workflows.
