Accomplishments

I consider my greatest accomplishments are not what I have achieved during my formal education, but what I have achieved beyond this. I have always driven myself to learn more that what is taught in any educational environment; to keep my current skills current and build upon these skills to further advance my technical knowledge.

Though self-education and study I have learned may skills that took my technical training and education to a new level. I was able to gain knowledge through research and self-study that I have put to use in not only my current position but in other ways that have been beneficial to not only myself but to the organization I was employed.

Some examples of what I have learned beyond my formal educational instruction, but have included with my formal training are:

  • LAN Planning, Design and Deployment
    • Network Requirements
    • Network Layout
    • Wiring
    • Data Rack Configuration
    • Power Management
    • Cable / Wiring Management
  • Windows Server Management
    • Server installation & Configuration
    • Active Directory
    • Group Policy
    • WSUS Configuration and Administration
  • Firewall Configuration
  • Website design and creation
  • I also pride myself on my desire to expand my technical knowledge by not only keeping my current skill sets up to date by by also furthering my technical knowledge by reading and studying about the latest technology advancements and by subscribing and actively taking part in online I.T. communities.

Using what I have learned in both a formal and informal educational surrounding, I have been able to, single handedly plan, design, implement, deploy and maintain a SMB domain network. This includes the setup and configuration of servers, routers, switches and firewalls.

Also using my training, both formal and informal, I have implemented a multi-camera surveillance system that is accessible via the Internet.

Lastly, I have created several websites. The one I am particularly proud of is NetAdminWorld. This is my technical-based website that focuses on a wide rage of technical topics.
