Summary
Microsoft Certified IT Professional // TS/SCI.
I have worked with information technology (IT) starting back to the days of
the TRS-80 and monochrome monitors. My experience is hands-on and reaches
from one end of the IT spectrum to the other ranging from; fiber optics to
coding custom shell scripts and from database development to hardware
repair. As a consultant, I can speak Six Sigma as well as Acquisitions and
with 20 years of military service, I speak military as well. I easily
translate client requirements into actionable code and manual business
processes into automated successes. My experience and my skills were
developed using my own initiative and drive, while attempting to resolve
problems or increase business efficiency using current technology.
