About

As a Technical Consultant with over 14 years of experience, I have honed my expertise in providing network and hardware support, leading complex infrastructure projects, and managing vendor relationships. During my tenure at U.S. Bank from 2008 to 2022, I played a pivotal role in planning hardware and infrastructure installations, collaborating with various teams and customers to execute new projects, and managing multiple projects to ensure timely and efficient delivery. A significant achievement in this role was the complete overhaul of the security system within the facility, which required meticulous planning and execution to maintain security without extended downtime. Previously, as a Hardware Support Specialist at U.S. Bank, I installed and removed network and hardware devices, maintained infrastructure, and diagnosed and repaired hardware and software incidents. At 1and1.com, I gained valuable experience as a Data Center Technician, where I installed and configured hardware, diagnosed custom hardware and software issues, and contributed to building out new data halls. My educational background includes a Project Management certification from the University of Phoenix and an Associates Degree in Information Technology from ITT Technical Institute. My skills in vendor and project management, change management, process improvement, and disaster recovery have enabled me to successfully lead and implement projects, ensuring seamless operations and enhanced system performance.
