(covering all aspects of markets and GL Products), the Clearvision Specialist Certification, FIX
Certification and the GL API Certification. As the only member of the team with development

4. skills my main tasks were customisations of client requests based on market access files and
feeds out of Clearvision, as well as day to day support. The role comprised of daily Oracle and
Sybase operations and included development of Stored Procedures, Triggers and schema

IT Support Consultant
Invest in Liverpool
December 2005 – April 2006
 Working in the financial sector for a property investment company, this contract for an expanding
business was awarded in order to assess and improve their IT capabilities during a period of
relocation.
 Upgraded the existing network to an Active Directory Environment including Exchange, SQL
Server, ISA Server for web caching and security and SMS server for updates and roll outs.

Webmail and a VPN were added to allow users to work from home. Added market applications

IT Manager
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society
August 2003 – December 2005
 Initially hired for a 2 month contract for auditing the current set up, migrating an accounts server
and introducing web-based ticketing sales. Problems were discovered after an audit, including
servers falling over, no backup, no virus protection and no adequate daily support. After my
contract, I was offered a new position in the organization as IT Manager. During my time I
achieved the following:
 Successfully introduced a new MS SQL Server to run Diary Management Software (Artifax
Event), whilst an old MS-DOS based Orchestra Management system was converted from a flat-
file based DBMS (Arcplus) into Tables compatible with a leading MS SQL based program
capable of interfacing with the Diary Management System.
 Migrated the old DOS based ticketing system to a new windows based system, allowing faster
performance and greater reporting features. This was done with only a few hours down time
resulting in no loss of revenue.
 Upgraded overall network capacity in parts by introducing fibre optic links and optimizing Cisco
hardware (opting for GBIC technology). Introduced a third server for File Storage, freeing up the
load on the SQL Server and Accounts Server (running Sage software).
 Migrated an Exchange 5.5 server to Exchange Enterprise 2003 in difficult circumstances due to
the neglect of the server. File space was so low that the Store was failing to mount. Previous IT

6. support had claimed the environment was corrupt and could not be upgraded, however after
further investigation it was upgraded successfully. Veritas Backup and remote agents were
introduced on 2 separate servers to backup nightly. This was accompanied by regular offline
store backups and exmerges of mailboxes. Backups were tested regularly and a disaster
recovery plan put in place.
 Introduced a Microsoft SMS Server to enable easier roll-out of patches, software updates and
aid replacement of desktop machines. Added a reporting web page to keep senior management
informed and updated on updates.
 Added remote access features such as webmail and VPN access. Introduced another Linux
based server which ran an intranet and Purchase Order System which was designed and written
by myself. This software (Linux/MySQL/PHP5/phpgroupware) based on a Sparc Ultra server
allowed users to enter any purchases they made using company funds, this was then counter
signed by departmental heads and counter-signed if the value was over £500 by senior staff.
This system tracked all orders (of 2 separate businesses), allowing for greater control and
accountability of budgets.
 Introduced a CCTV system using IP cameras and DVR. This allowed recording of images from
inside and outside the building, a 24 camera system. A major contributing factor in reducing the
crime and helping assist police with incidents. This also meant incidents could be burnt to DVD
easily.
 Completed 2 years of successful administration of an Active Directory Environment spanning 5
servers (Box Office, Accounts, SQL, Filestore and Exchange). Solely responsible for the
organizations IT infrastructure, including individual user support. Reported to various
organizations in assisting to develop software specifically written for the organization.

products.
E-Commerce Development
Stevron
November 2005 – December 2005
 Hired to add web based sales and a list of services for a manufacturer of motor products.
Subsequently the company decided to change direction into cosmetics. Therefore a solution was
built upon oscommerce to allow the company as much freedom to change their site as they
pleased.
 Consulted, both in terms of marketability and deliverability of the new site. Suggesting that
perhaps the business was not viable and opening up web sales was not necessarily going to
increase profit
 Installed a solution based on the cost involved and customisability for the client.
Contract Work
I have also undertaken various contacts for small and large businesses and charity work. These have
included websites, databases, on-line sales, migrating servers and environments. In addition I have worked
