LEADERSHIP Led a project to deploy and image 20+ iMacs for a student computer lab at
the University of Washington Seattle campus. This project involved
extensive research and experimentation with AppleScript language and
Parallels Desktop 11 software in order to ensure that the workstations were
able to communicate with the University of Washington’s network both in
Windows 10 OS and Macintosh iOS. Communicated with supervisors and
Apple engineers to develop a stable iOS workstation for student use, along
with installation of appropriate software, then used Clonezilla to capture the
image and deploy it to rest of the computer lab.
