Profile summary
I am hard working individual with excellent working ethics, communication
skills and the ability to change and adapt to all areas within the IT industry.
I have worked on the largest IT project in the world, National Project for IT
within the NHS, both in a hands on capacity – installing P.C.’s as required,
Project Managing Sub-Contractors carrying installation work of Data cabinets
and structured cabling to a higher level Project Management side.
As a result of NPfIT I was part of a two man team responsible for packing
applications using Novell Zen and NAL. I both packaged systems (to be testedby
my colleague) and testedapplications that had been packaged. In total
approximately 250 applications were packaged in a 12 month period.
I was solely responsible for the documentation process for all applications
packaged.
This was done whilst also managing the IT Service desk - but it ensured that I
had a full working knowledge of all applications prior to their global
introduction.
2. I have an excellent working knowledge of both Novell network Administration
and Microsoft active directory, having had full Administrative rights using both
systems.
I worked my from basic IT support, to software and Network support eventually
becoming the IT Service Desk Team Leader, all achieved within the NHS,
however these skills are easily adaptable to all areas.
Having left the NHS I am enjoying Contracting which offers me the ability to
learn new skills all the time in many different environments, however as is the
case with most contractors I am also looking for a permanent role.
I have an excellent working knowledge of Blackberry and their related software,
and installation on a BES.
I have WSUS experience to ensure workstations are kept up to date with the
latest Microsoft software releases.
In my current role at Norland Managed Services I cover all of the UK, I enjoy
travelling and have no objection to working away from home. My main
objectives are to use analytical tools developed by myself using VBA within
Microsoft Excel to highlight to Contract Managers where any weaknesses may
be within their contract.
I also use VBA to write code to automate repetitive processes whether they are
daily, weekly or monthly, to free up my colleague’s time.
I have a good working knowledge of Dynamics, CAFM reporting services and
general reporting services.
