Using my knowledgeable skill set I found, created and integrated solutions for issues found with configurations and OS issues in Windows® and Linux®. I also recommended programming code changes as defects within software and databases to alleviate problems. I also found optimizations that could improve database and software performance. I became the critical analyst for the most complex issues arising from the geological software, databases, third party software issues (including ESRI® ArcGIS®), and configuration issues that arose from use of the software on the various Operating Systems. I also maintained the highest number of completed cases and solutions. I assisted clients more often on all aspects of the software than any other analyst. Support Analyst III
