Systems Administrator
Fotango
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Computer Software industry)
July 2007 — September 2007 (3 months)
As part of the systems team at Fotango I primarily supported the server infrastructure hosting the internal services and those of their parent company Canon. These were high availability web applications provided through a redundant, load balanced, open source platform covered by 24/7 monitoring via a set of Nagios installations.
Additionally I supported the infrastructure for the development, testing and staging environments for the development team, maintaining version control and build systems consistent with the production environments. -
Senior Systems Administrator
The Moving Picture Company
(Privately Held; 201-500 employees; Motion Pictures and Film industry)
March 2003 — July 2007 (4 years 5 months)
At MPC I supported a wide range of users including administrative staff, technical staff, artists, production staff and developers. I provided R&D of new technologies, the higher level sysadmin work and training for other staff.
Working with a team of eleven I supported a range of Linux workstations, render nodes and network servers, learning much about managing large networks and the tools used.
Systems availability was paramount to this 24/7 operation requiring my coordination with production staff for service outages and a clear understanding of how services affected the business.
Backup and archiving were a large part of my role and I designed, built and managed a Veritas Netbackup Enterprise system to replace the existing backup and archive facilities. Based around Quantum PX720 with SDLT600 drives it initially archived 5TB of data per week and backed up 55TB of data across the organization but was designed to scale as the business grew. -

UNIX Systems Administrator
Imperial College London
(Educational Institution; 5001-10,000 employees; Research industry)
September 2002 — March 2003 (7 months)
I supported the operating environments for a number of large Oracle databases used by the finance and administration wings of the College.
These ran on a range of Sun hardware including Enterprise 3500 - 6500 and SunFire 12K and platforms based around Veritas Volume Manager and Solstice Disk Suit giving me exposure to a high availability production environment and experience of the downtime scheduling and change management that entails. -
Network Administrator
Profero
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)
June 2000 — June 2002 (2 years 1 month)
Initially responsible for the UK office network and related network services my role broadened as the company grew to include other offices worldwide and I implemented a VPN and related infrastructure to connect satellite offices back to the UK.
The company's production banner-ad servers and associated hardware also fell under my remit. This gave me experience working in a mission critical production environment, along with the considerations that have to be taken into account when maintaining and upgrading such a system.
