After a merger with Constellation Energy Partners, successfully integrated into a tight knit IT team and became an integral member of the IT department, as the escalation point for systems and support. Assumed a leadership role and expanded responsibilities which allowed my manager to focus on strategy in his new role as a VP without worrying about the hands-on technical issues. Built a strong and mutually beneficial relationship. In a fast-paced environment, am very adaptive and responsive to company needs. As the marketplace expanded and then contracted, scaled the infrastructure to meet corporate requirements, both for increasing demand and for decreasing demand. For each, applied expertise in meeting stakeholder expectations, supporting mission critical business applications, and creating stable and reliable systems. Primary Technologies: O365, Exchange Online, Azure, VMware, MS Servers, Active Directory, ADFS, NetApp, Nimble, Veeam
