In my role, I worked with vendors and help determine purchasing standards and negotiate pricing year to year. I worked with grant specialists to provide language used in grants to NIH, NSF, DOD, etc. I collaborated with Enterprise Platforms and Services teams to ensure high availability to campus platforms used for research and educational technologies. I acted as liaison for all KU IT project teams that want feedback on research response to proposed IT changes. I maintained Linux and Windows servers used by researchers on campus for a variety of academic and scientific research needs. I engineered creative and supportable solutions to unique challenges presented by campus groups when standard services are insufficient. I worked with the IT security office to ensure we meet regulatory requirements presented by Federal, State, and University policies and laws. We specialized in supporting Linux systems (RHEL, CENTOS, Scientific Linux, Ubuntu, Debian) for users on campus while still complying with dynamic inventory, SSO, and data storage requirements set by both the state of Kansas, and federal granting agencies. I was the senior-most support person in our specialized group and managed sixteen other specialized Support Staff. I worked closely with KU’s Enterprise Support, IT Security Office, and Workstation Support teams to improve our systems integration with campus utilities and services, comply with security improvements and security response, and offer assistance and support to ensure that research needs are not overlooked in campus computing goals. I worked everyday in both server environments as well as a desktop/workstation support roles while supervising staff to aide in providing a quick and efficient response to most scientific research and administrative computing needs.
