With a proven track record of optimizing functionality / availability, technical support, cost control, and revenues, I am proud to have established myself as a successful systems administrator and infrastructure engineer. Combining expertise in performance tuning, systems implementation, scripting, and networks / servers, I am now seeking the opportunity to bring 17 years of experience to your organization.
Over the course of my career, I have created value by devising and deploying effective solutions, by performing troubleshooting and testing operations, by spearheading key design and implementation initiatives, and by overseeing enterprise core services. A sample of key contributions includes:
- Reduced firewalls mailing list delivery times (for 10,000+ members and 100+ daily messages) from 5-8 days to less than 1 day (in collaboration with colleagues) by relieving sendmail / server congestion through the creation of PERL scripts; co-authored paper on the system later presented at the Usenix LISA conference.
- Decreased costs and deployment time by expediting transition to Solaris; improved on the Sun implementation model by enabling Solaris client installations to precede server upgrades.
- Delivered open wireless access across all customer sites while maximizing security (no access for external parties) by creating a customized OpenWRT solution (embedded Linux for Linksys wireless routers) to filter access to the DMZ.
- Improved user experiences by providing peerless technical / systems support.
- Bolstered database management by employing PERL to develop a CGI library.
