Objective:
A challenging position where my skills
will be both tested and increased, in an information technology team,
especially one focused on network operations or systems development. I'm highly motivated and self-disciplined
working alone or as part of a team, or directing others within a team. Prefer a full or part-time position in the
central Indiana area unless telecommuting, but contract work is a possibility.
I can be relied upon to be extremely
thorough in all respects, especially those that others commonly ignore or miss,
such as documentation, analysis, and performance tuning; careful planning and
accountability are matters of habit.
