* VoIP, T1, and analog voice services
* Service stability, and security assurances

* 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.
