Due to being made redundant I worked for myself. I completed IT contracts for various clients. These included Web design, network troubleshooting and administration, database administration, and teaching.

I was solely responsible for all internal IT requirements. Managing a team of five engineers, I had designed and built (and then administered) the company network, which spans Ireland, the UK, France and Canada comprising approximately 300 hosts. The network consists mostly of Windows 2003 and 2008 servers utilising Active Directory which I migrated from an NT domain. Some virtualisation was achieved by way of VMWare, however the majority of the servers were physical. Watchguard Firewalls were used to secure the network perimeter and an Inter-Office VPN. ‘Homeworking’ was also achieved for some staff members by way of personal mobile VPN’s. Cisco routers and 3Com switches provided the backbone utilising gigabit over fibre where possible. I designed, built and maintained the company intranet. I also designed and maintained the company’s web presence. All IT procedures and standards within the organisation were designed and implemented by me. These included: - AV, Email, Internet Access, Backups, FTP admin, Purchasing, Licensing, and Company Security (Firewall/IP Packet Filtering/RAS/Telephone Discretion). I was also the senior Oracle and MS-SQL DBA. My other role was to act as a technical consultant to our customers advising on network optimisation, storage standards, RDBMS, security etc. I met regularly with IT staff in many organisations, ranging from 300 to 100,000 employees, in order to maintain the high standards that were required. I also acted as IS Project Manager to some of our larger customers (Dell, IBM, Intel and The Irish Prison Service), liaising with them to ensure that our high profile software was implemented smoothly.
