Having worked in the Information Technology Field for over 30 years I have developed an extensive knowledgebase of skills and abilities.
Key focus has included, but is not limited to; a wide variety of computers, printers, networks, software, and user support across a broad spectrum of applications and hardware devices.
Most recently I worked as a Business Systems Engineer/ Analyst for The Ventura Group supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs Workforce Management & Consulting Office, including personnel across the country at more than 150 hospitals.
I am sure that my extensive experience in the Information Technology Spectrum and valuable skills and insights gained over the years, make me a valuable asset to any organization.
