Michal Nowak’s Experience
-
Systems Administrator and Application Support, Technical Services
Sun Microsystems (Camberley, England)
(Public Company; JAVA; Information Technology and Services industry)
May 2009 — Present (7 months)
This is a joint role involving both Systems Administration, and Applications support. The key responsibilities of this role include resolving issues escalated from NOC teams, as well as documentation management.
While in this role, I have developed a strong ability to work from first principles and minimal documentation. I also work a weekend rota system, as primary application support, resolving issues related to mission critical applications such as JCAPS, AppWorx, and AutoSys. I have been involved in multiple crisis calls, requiring collaboration with key Sun partners. I have also created several scripts and tools to automate day-to-day tasks, that are now used by both myself and colleagues worldwide.
In addition to that, I am very familiar with resources such as sunsolve, bigadmin, wikis.sun.com, opensolaris.org and blastwave, to which I am contributing.
I also participate in the on-call rotation for the Guillemont Park campus addressing issues which arise out of office hours. -
