Skills Summary:

My skillset in context:

Previous to my return to school and subsequent entry into my chosen field of architecture, I had been responsible for marketing, public relations, and technical communications; from technical writing, technical editing and technical illustration to art, cartoons, graphics and pre-press production; document layout and design; also media tracking and costing. I have managed all digital assets for my departments, conducted significant technical research, trained new technical writers and technical publications assistants, and managed resource allocation for my group. I have been responsible for creating, documenting, and implementing a new structure, format, appearance and graphic language for intelligent tool operator manuals in the IC support industry, with a distribution of 116 foreign subsidiaries; my goal was to make transliteration easy, and to render complex procedures in a clear, unequivocal manner. In the IT field, I have also been responsible for all research, recommendation and purchase of specialized software and hardware to accomplish all information tasks; administration and troubleshooting of LAN & servers, and IT support of all Apple and IBM desktop and laptop machines. I have migrated an entire system from legacy Mac OS to Mac OS X; I was responsible for all administration and security for the new system. With Mogavero Architects I have both managed and executed all IT tasks and plans; these have included complete OS switches, major changes to IT infrastructure from hardware to virtualisation, to multi-server to SAN based topologies; recently managing a third-party IT contractor in all mission- critical tasks.
