The end days of "Web1.0" found Everdev floundering so I started at PNTS as a Development Lead. At this small retail firm I designed and constructed a custom POS application for their model. Working closely with the executives at this firm and their partners I became keenly aware of what is needed for "business class" systems. I was promoted to IT Director when my predecessor was terminated.

As a Development Lead at Everdev I was responsible for planning projects and following through with the timeline. I also learned to quickly adapt to new situations as many projects started with me doing research, design and structures before engaging the developers. This was the first place that I put GNU/Linux into a production environment for someone other than myself.

• Enterprise level software development with Visual Basic.
• Web development with VB, PERL, MySQL, MS-SQL, DHTML, XML and JavaScript.
• HTTP, SOAP, SMTP, POP3, FTP, DNS, DHCP, SSH, and SQL Server setup administration and maintenance
• Document specifications and requirements of software projects.

When contracting out at Microsoft I was the first member of the NLB team. As new members came on I found myself in somewhat of a leadership role. I learned techniques for interviews, team communications for small and large teams and meeting hosting skills.

• Daily installs and upgrades of lab machines, setup and configuration testing
• Design and maintenance of NLB lab network infrastructure
• Setup and configuration testing of Windows 2000 and NLB service

In my first years in the industry as a young employee I was not exposed directly to business operations. I did however learn what makes a team. As a support technician I had direct exposure to the problems employees face every day with technology.

• Provided support for Win9x, NT 4 and Mac's on a Novell / NT network over TCP/IP.
• Provided software and hardware installation upgrades and support for 1000+ users.
• Daily troubleshooting of various networking issues
• Follow-up of issues until proper resolution is achieved
