Employment History:
LAN Administrator Senior
Total System Services, Inc. - Enterprise Application Support - SMS/SCCM
Feb 08-Present: Upgraded infrastructure from SMS 2003 to SCCM 2007 for 15
sites and 8,500 clients in multiple
countries. Standardized package installs to use one script for MSI based
installs so all logging and reporting is consistent across the enterprise.
Built approximately 120 software packages and managed the entire SCCM
infrastructure. Built a custom VB application for management to report
status of advertised software deployments as well as over 250 custom
reports. Built several VBScript based automated client health healing
scripts to ensure all clients are fully functional at all times.
Senior Infrastructure Systems Analyst - Contract
State of Nebraska - Department of Health and Human Services - Information
Systems and Technology
Jan 99 - Feb 08: Assisted in Saving the State of Nebraska over $2 million
by devising a method to manage the software and configuration of
workstations and servers for two years until SMS 2.0 deployment was
available. Then, once on-line, enhanced SMS 2.0's functionality by
developing a system to ensure maintenance occurs nightly during a time
window. More than 6500 workstations are maintained by custom VBScripts
which control the behavior of the SMS client and extend its functionality,
allowing for customized software deliveries, inventory cycles and other
maintenance tasks. Over 98.9% of the systems successfully complete all
maintenance tasks each night. The system spans 90+ secondary sites through
a wide area network using a single primary SMS site. Any workstation can
be readied for use by the unattended installation of an operating system,
SMS client as well as most applications by using a single diskette and/or
network connection in less than two hours. (White paper available upon
request) Repackaged about 100 of over 600 custom and off-the-shelf
applications using systems such as Prizm, SMS installer, Microsoft
Installer, and AdminStudio. Currently deploying a new system service
written in VB.NET I developed along with a colleague to control the
Microsoft SMS Advanced Client. This new system service expands upon the
script used to control the Legacy Client by automatically configuring
mobile assets to receive updates and send inventories, setting a
maintenance window for fixed assets, managing advertisements with reboots,
and more.
Information Technology Manager
Consortia Ltd. - Database Driven Direct Marketing Agency
Jan 95 - Jan 99: Started the Information Technology department, installed
local area network, 3 point wireless wide area network, over 10 servers and
grew my department to 6 people. Assisted the company growth from 11 people
to well over 200 employees in over 10 states, terabytes of storage, 2 high
speed printers, implemented Lotus Notes as well as several other databases
all while delivering over 99.5% uptime and always within budget.
