Technical Support Engineer

VMware

This job gave me the necessary skills to move on to a Sr. admin position.

While at Vmware I resolved customer's technical issues through research, reproduction, and troubleshooting. I and my team spend time collaborating with customers, other departments, vendors and partners reproducing customer issues in a lab environment. I documented all technical inquires, correspondence, research and resolutions.

At VMware I was proficient with the setup and operation of TCP/IP networking in Windows or UNIX/Linux. I used my outstanding verbal and written communication skills as well as my good organizational, time management, and research skills.

I also handled issues with data centers every day. From ISCSI, NAS, SANS, Virtualization, and the Linux Kernel, to security, shell programming, PHP, Apache, MySQL and desktop support. Every day I was growing my skill set as I worked closely with Admins and other IT professionals.
