Josiah Ritchie’s Experience
-
Owner
Self-Employed
(Information Technology and Services industry)
June 2008 — Present (1 year 6 months)
I'm a contractor interested in helping churches, businesses and individuals take the potential of the Internet by the horns, tame it, and make it come alive to complete their goals.

System Administrator
Fellowship International Mission
(Non-Profit; 51-200 employees; Non-Profit Organization Management industry)
March 2007 — Present (2 years 9 months)
-
Network Administrator
Washington Bible College
(Non-Profit; 51-200 employees; Education Management industry)
August 2000 — March 2007 (6 years 8 months)
At Washington Bible College, I progressed from being a student assistant to team-leading the department. It was here that I learned about the business end of IT, how technology in a corporate environment is run on very different priorities and is subject to the changes of the organization. I learned the importance of flexible and standards-based solutions. I also learned a lot about how to market good tech solutions to leadership and users.

Founder & Community Leader
LinuxBiometrics.com (Self-employed)
(Self-Employed; Myself Only; Information Technology and Services industry)
2004 — 2006 (2 years )
LinuxBiometrics.com was developed when I recognize a whole in the open source community. The intention was to build an open source community around the area of biometrics that would result in further passion and development. Ultimately, I hoped to see drivers developed both within and outside the organizations selling biometric devices. For the time I, and others in the community put into it, we saw success in both of these areas, including the provision of devices from companies to develop and test the Linux support. Eventually, my interests turned elsewhere and this project was transferred to the hands of other interested parties.
-
Crew Leader
Mc Donalds
(Privately Held; 10,001 or more employees; Food & Beverages industry)
June 1998 — August 2000 (2 years 3 months)
I was responsible for the running of the grill area, keeping the meals hot, fresh and fast. I was responsible for managing people as well as production. I learned a lot about the working world as a result. God used this time to show me how important leadership is. Having both good and bad managers provided a striking contrast. I learned I wanted to be a good leader and that supporting those who led be was beneficial to everyone.
