Technical Skills

I have more than fifteen years experience as a systems architect and administrator. My responsibilities have included the design and management of geographically diverse installations of varying scale. I have proposed and seen to completion a wide variety of infrastructure projects including the monitoring of systems and networks, data backup and recovery, statistics gathering and reporting and automation. I have been called upon many times for my ability to provide immediate resolution during mission critical outages and then to perform the subsequent root cause analysis. Finally, regardless of my role, whether as team member, technical lead or project lead, I always have a strong sense of responsibility to deliver projects on time.
