Work & Learning

I have been working in the Information Technology ("I.T.") field for the majority of my working career.

I have held several jobs ranging from an entry-level call center role, up the ranks of various technical support tiers, into a corporate help desk, network administration, and presently as a systems administrator.

Here are some of the technologies I have worked with:

Networking

Since first learning about Cisco in my NetAcad classes in high school, I have always had a fascination with the networking field in I.T.

I've worked with Cisco routers and switches and Meraki switches and SD-WAN in current and prior jobs.

I also have extensive experience with Ubiquiti's UniFi product line. Including the Dream Machine Pro, switches, and access points.

Operating Systems

I've pretty much lived and breathed Microsoft my entire life (with a here and there dabble in Linux or Mac). When I was a kid learning on Windows 95 (and Server 2000), up to my professional roles using all OS/Server architectures since then.

Server Virtualization

I find virtualization technology fascinating. What once required vast amounts of physical space to store seemingly endless, often repetitive servers, now can be virtually created in a fraction of the space.

I presently work with Broadcom's VMware, but have also worked with Hyper-V, and Oracle VirtualBox.

What am I currently learning or studying?

I am currently studying for my CompTIA Server+ certification.

I have my sights set to acquire my CCNA and maybe CCNP after my Server+.
