During my employment with Sigma, I managed a massive hardware maintenance contract at AMD Austin. I was responsible for a very large spare part inventory, and allocating resources on my team to handle incoming repairs. I performed L3-grade troubleshooting and repairs, while providing many value-added benefits like maintaining Engineering tape back-up rotations. I also lead a massive hardware upgrade for 2,000 machines here in Austin during 2012. Daily updates and metrics were a necessity, as well as managing additional temporary personnel.

My main responsibility was the compute farm at AMD. Bantam was contracted to keep the non-warrantied systems at a 99% uptime. When I was not on-site at AMD, I was working at the Bantam location on McHale Ct. I was general IT, with a more specific focus on customers like Wayport. Hardware support was my main priority.

Here at A&C, I was responsible for the majority of repairs, including managing the other technicians. Part procurement, and engineering systems to be sold also became a large portion of my duties. I maintained positive working relationships with vendors and customers, and was also responsible for all off-site repairs.
