Nate Carlson’s Experience

Sr. Systems Administrator
Internet Broadcasting
(Privately Held; 201-500 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)
May 2005 — Present (3 years 3 months)
I started at IB as a Systems Administrator for their internal systems. In this role, my focus was to maintain and improve our existing environment. I am heavily involved in our monitoring infrastructure, authentication infrastructure, and the other components of our environment. At the end of 2005, I worked with NBC to build up the infrastructure at their data center to host NBC's 2006 Torino Olympics web site. I successfully interfaced with NBC, Sun, and our internal resources to get the environment online. After the success of that project, we started on the NBCSports.com web site. In October of 2006, I was promoted to Sr. Systems Administrator, and started full-time on NBC Sports. My job is to oversee the Sports environment from a systems perspective, including all of the necessary environments for an accelerated development cycle. Since then, I have been working closely with our development team and release managers to help refine processes to ensure clean and timely code releases.

Nathan Carlson Consulting
(Information Technology and Services industry)
January 2000 — Present (8 years 7 months)
I have been doing some private consulting for quite awhile now. I mainly focus on Linux solutions, but do also venture out into other environments if someone is in need. As part of my consulting business, I also sublet colocation space to try to make colo affordable to geeks who want to get a system up in a stable environment. I haven't been doing nearly as much consulting lately because of how busy I have been at work, unfortunately.

(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)
September 1999 — April 2005 (5 years 8 months)
Real Time Enterprises is a small local company that offers ISP services and computer/network consulting services. At Real Time, I was responsible for administration of both our internal networks and many of our client's networks. I also researched and implemented many leading-edge solutions for us and our clients. During my tenure at Real Time, I also wrote and presented two sessions at our Minneapolis-area Linux Conferences.
