My Computing Experience

			I currently have over sixteen years computer experience, including extensive experience building, setting up, and troubleshooting computer systems Windows 95 / 98 / NT / 2000 / XP / 2003. I have over nine years experience using Windows NT Server, IIS, and Proxy Server. I have ten years experience in storage solutions (SCSI, RAID, 4mm DAT, 8mm DAT, MO, DLT, AIT), over five years experience with Solaris / Linux and C++, and over ten years experience in web design.
		I am currently working for General Dynamics Information Technology, which acquired Anteon Corporation. I am A+ certified, and and I graduated with an Associate's degree in Information Systems Technology: Cisco Networking in May 2007, 3.8 GPA, Magna Cum Laude. Afterward, I plan on continuing my bachelor's degree in computer engineering. I have had 108 class hours of MSCE NT 4.0 training and 189 class hours of MSCE 2000 training. In addition, I have several Brainbench certifications at Brain Bench. You can access my certifications by putting in the code 2595878.
		Previously, I was employed at Eastern State Hospital as a PC installation / repair technician from 2000 to 2005. My primary responsibility was to help support roughly 700 PCs serving 1,100 personnel running Windows 95 / 98 / NT / 2000 in a 30+ building complex. The servers were comprised of NT, 2000 and Netware. At times, I helped troubleshoot programs designed onsite in FoxPro. I helped install network cabling, hubs, and switches. The network utilized TCP/IP and IPX using Ethernet connectivity with a fiber-optic backbone and a T-1 Internet connection. In addition, I maintained the hospital's website. I also repaired printers onsite and helped train student interns. At times I downloaded software updates as necessary for in-field applications. When requested, I conducted product research.
		I worked at Thomas Nelson Community College as a computer lab assistant for five years (1998 - 2003). There I helped maintain six Windows NT servers, 80 Windows NT / 2000 workstations, and two Linux PCs. When necessary, I installed and troubleshot network switches using TCP/IP protocol with a fiber-optic uplink. I assisted students with course-specific software (including Office 97 / 2000 / XP, AutoCAD 14 / 2000, C++, Visual BASIC, and web design) and helped students find information on the Internet using Internet Explorer and Netscape. At the beginning of the semesters, I conducted student orientations on the lab's rules, web-based e-mail access, and Word. I also maintained the lab's website.
		For approximately six months in 2000, I was a web administrator for the Newport News Public Schools system. I helped repair old or broken web links and posted web-based documentation (including Word 97 documents). I implemented and repair CGI and Perl scripts. When necessary, I helped troubleshoot network and PC problems.
		In addition, I worked for approximately six months at Peninsula Computer doing repairs. For about ten years, I worked at Das Waldcafe, a local German restaurant. Also, in 1992, I worked as a student intern at Thomas Jefferson Lab (formerly CEBAF) as a beam technician.
