EXPERIENCE
10/2000 – Present SupplySolution, Inc Southfield, MI
Network Engineer
My job description is to keep the Supply Chain Management software, "i-Supply", in full operation, running efficiently, at any cost.
My current work hours are 3am-11am ET (This is 3rd shift, in Pacific time, as the headquarters are in Santa Barbera, CA). During this time I am fully responsible for the management and smooth operation of a 3 site, 200 server network, with data collection servers installed in 30 places globally at customer sites. This position entails occasional onsite maintainance, and mostly remote administration. My usual task is carefully watching the monitoring systems to look for anomalies that may indicate a problem before it happens, so that I may fix it before it becomes noticeable to our customers. Our internal SLA is no more than 5 minutes downtime per day, and _no_ downtime during office hours in the US)

11/1999 – 9/2000 isiah.com / i-Gift Birmingham, Mi
Head of IT
My job description was to ensure the smooth operation of a 15 employee company on the IT side. This required me to administer 15 windows based machines, including laptops and desktops. I also administered an internal intranet server based off Redhat Linux.
It also required familiarity with administraton of a Toshiba telephone system, proper configuration of a Livingston portmaster ISDN router (as well as working knowledge of POTS, BRI , and PRI circuits).
I was in charge of all purchasing decisions, and repair and maintainance of all computers.
Halfway through my employment our contractor that ran the e-commerce site terminated the contract, and refused to release the passwords. The site went down, and given nothing but a keyboard and monitor I was able to recover passwords on all affected machines and return the site to operation in under 48 hours. During this time I began to learn cisco IOS, and I was able to successfully secure the site against intrusion, as the contractors had left the machines wide open on the internet.

1/1998 – 6/1999 Grand Haven Area Public Schools Grand Haven, MI
Webmaster
Developed and maintained the school district website as an internship, and then on a paid basis.
I was responsible for maintaining an up-to-date web presence for various departments within the district (as well as the district itself), and making sure the entire site was navigatible in a simple, straightforward manner, and that it was handicap accessable.

11/1997 – Present Timmins Technologies Waterford, MI
UNIX Systems Administrator
Operate a Sun Solaris based Sparc 10 as the primary system administrator. Set up security, and remotely recovered from 3 root level compromises due to improper configuration before I began working on it.
This server is run mostly on a volunteer basis, with some paid accounts. It has 10 interactive users, and 20 more email only accounts. It hosts DNS and websites for approximately 15 domains.

I also run http://www.telcodata.us/, a site I set up in my spare time that gives information on the public switched telephone network. In the last 6 months it has caught the attention of several CLECs (Competitive Local Exchange Carriers), who now use it on a daily basis to resolve billing complaints and disputes, as well as retrieve information about specific numbers. The data supplied is collected from about 4 different sources, and is run on a MySQL and PHP backend, with about 10 perl scripts and a shell script to process the new data and insert it into the database in a useable form. The database contains over 150,000 rows, and contains information on every telephone exchange in North America.
I have also written a version of the site that was powered with a Java Server Pages backend, but I found it was overcomplicated for this simple task, so I retained the PHP interface.
It also has a WML interface designed for use on a cellular telephone web browser. This interface itself has several regular users. It is currently run for free, but there are several ways I could generate income from this site if I chose to do so.
EDUCATION
