Gregg Berkholtz’s Summary

Career Goals:
I am a time-proven quick learner seeking positions exploiting my professional traits as a polymathic systems administrator, with experience on dozens of computing platforms and hundreds of related services. I currently seek to position myself as a team-lead, where the introduction, or furthering, of departmental transparency enables a primary focus in information systems:
* Service virtualization
* Performance optimizations
* Design, mergers & migrations
* VoIP, T1, and analog voice services
* Service stability, and security assurances
* Development and implementation of sound documentation and communication processes
* Documentation standards; inventory, naming schemes, equipment labeling, configurations and builds, and monitoring/on-call procedures

Career Overview:
Specializing in enterprise computing level support and solutions, I've spent the past 14 years helping organizations streamline IT systems management, and lower overall operational costs. By primarily focusing in the realm of information systems design, mergers & migrations, system virtualization, VoIP and T1 voice services, performance optimizations, service stability, and security assurances. On operating system platforms ranging from Linux, Solaris, Apple Macintosh, Microsoft, Novell & SCO.

I've successfully introduced a culture of embracing changes, within IT structures, which enables rapid assimilation of new technologies, facilitates stronger organizational communications, and strengthens an organization's competitive edge.
