My greatest strength is my ability to gather information from multiple computer and human resources and synthesize the information into a probable cause for the observed problem.
I have lots of experience gathering the information by reading symptoms
and interviewing relevant parties.
While the analysis is being done, I feed back the information and analysis
to technical teams and management to work towards a solution. I have done this for most of the fortune 50 companies while working for
Sun Micro Systems and, later Oracle Corporation.
I practice active listening, blame free evaluation, and seek solutions rather than blame.
I also have previous experience as a program designer and program developer
which allows me to understand the possibilities and limitations inherent
in computer systems.
I have a certificate in Quality Assurance to I can understand and support
the bug reporting process in such a way as to allow an engineering team to
locate and remediate computer hardware and software problems. I have been a lead technical engineer and I have experience leading small to
medium size teams (10-20 engineers/managers) on a day to day basis. I am seeking another position within the computer industry which will allow me
to use my current skills and develop new ones to support customer success in
using computer systems to run and manage their businesses. Job Experience
