TECHNICAL
January 13, 2003 - Present
Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Network Administrator
Administrator and support for Network Monitoring tools such as NetView 7.1.4 running on AIX 5.2, VitalSuite 9.1 running on Windows 2000 with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 as the back end database and a Windows 2000 server running What's Up Gold.
Completed projects are as follows:
  • Created scripts (KSH, AWK and SQL Plus) to place devices in and out of maintenance mode so that NetView and TEC Console will not send alerts for those devices that are in their maintenance window. The maintenance mode application supports re-occurring maintenance windows for devices or devices that belong to SmartSets that are defined on the NetView map. Devices can also be placed into maintenance mode via a web entry form.
  • Created a comma delimited file for user contact information, which contains, modem dial pager information, EMail pager information, EMail address information and User name. Scripts were created to read the contact information files that are defined for each type of "event". The contact information file contains the name of the user to contact. Based on the name of the contact file, the user will either be paged or sent an EMail for the event that has occurred.
    For example:
    NodeDown.txt - People listed in this file will be paged for a NodeDown event.
    NodeDown_EMail.txt - People listed in this file will receive an EMail message for the same event.
  • Created scripts that pull device information from NetView and then loads those devices into the appropriate VitalSuite server. The scripts add new devices, and updated devices that have had either their IP address or their DNS Name changed. Devices that are still in Vital Suite, but are not in NetView and can not be pinged by NetView will be alerted on as possibly deleted from the network.
  • Created scripts that pull hub router information from NetView and generates SAA configuration files that are loaded into VitalSuite.
  • Figured out a way to have "netvewd" running on the NetView servers and still allow non-root user's that belong to a specified group to get the Read/Write map.
Job duties include:
  • Administrator of AIX 5.2 NetView Servers:
    • System upgrades
    • System backups
    • Design disaster recovery plans.
    • Created and delete users
    • Install patches and software
    • Trouble shoot issues with NetView and AIX.
    • Monitor system resource usage on the server and make adjustments as needed.
  • Administrator of Windows 2000 Vital Suite Servers:
    • Test Windows 2000 patches before instillation onto production servers.
    • Install software upgrades to VitalSuite.
    • Administrator of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 databases.
    • Add and delete users for the Vital Suite application.
    • Trouble shoot issues with the Vital Suite servers.
    • Monitor the health of the server and the VitalSuite application.
  • WhatsUpGold administrator:
    • Add and delete users on the server.
    • Trouble shoot issues on the server.
    • Monitor health of the server.
May 1996 - January 10, 2003
Anheuser Busch
Engineering Technical Support
Via Upp Business Systems
Administration and support for production and development RS/6000s and Sybase database servers running on either IBM RS/6000s or Microsoft NT servers.
Trained IS staff in the use of trouble shooting tools (i.e. Perfmon, Regmon, Sniffer traces, FileMon).
Developed web pages that displayed:
  1. Database and system backup success and failures for production RS/6000s (data gathered via shell scripts that I wrote and stored in Sybase database).
  2. RS/6000 System error reports (data gathered via shell scripts that I wrote and stored in Sybase database).
  3. Quintus, call tracking reports (Data stored in production Oracle call tracking database was pulled out on a nightly bases via shell scripts that I wrote which placed the "formatted" data into a Sybase database.).
  4. Standard operating procedures for AIX, Sybase, NT, PI/Open applications, Dial up networking, etc.
I also worked with a teammate to design and develop the pilot Change Management web application, that was later taken over by the web development team after the pilot proved very successful at the test breweries.
I am an administrator for the production Web Change Management application.
Develop KSH (Korn Shell - UNIX) and WSH (Windows Scripting Host) scripts for trouble shooting AIX, Sybase and NT issues.
May 1995 - May 1996
Novus Services Inc.
Systems Administration and Support
Via Upp Business Systems
Managed an IBM RS/6000 network with approximately 2500 users. Responsibilities included OS installation, network configuration, trouble shooting, system monitoring, resource management, software installations, creating and managing new users and providing support to employees. Also performed basic trouble shooting and software installations for LAN Server environment. Users in the environment would log onto LAN Servers via workstations running OS/2 2.1 and OS/2 Warp and call application code that communicates via TCP/IP Sockets with Tuxedo processes running on the RS6000s.
Developed methods to shutdown system processes (Oracle, Tuxedo, etc.) and restart system processes. Started development on a UNIX C program (TuxCheck) that monitors Tuxedo processes. This program was destined to eventually communicate with Netview and notify PMG (Help Desk) when a possible problem is detected. Also developed a UNIX C program (TuxENV) that will cycle Tuxedo processes by group, by machine or by environment, if the machine to be cycled is the Tuxedo master, then TuxENV will try to migrate the master to a backup master server. Installed and configured test Name Server for Novus, which was handed off to other LAN team members for further development.
Fall 1991 - May 1995
The University of Alabama
LAN and DB Coordinator
Managed an IBM RS/6000 network with up to 1000 users and a Novell network with up to 100 users for the College of Engineering and the Computer Science department. Responsibilities included hardware upgrades, OS installation, network configuration, trouble shooting, system monitoring, resource management, software installations, creating and managing new users and providing support to students and faculty.
Continued development as lead programmer of statistical software for the Alabama Highway Department. Accident and Ticket information was collected by the highway department and sent to us via IBM tape cartridges. The data was read on an IBM mainframe via COBOL programs which could either send the data for further processing to SAS and SPSSX or to an RS/6000 system where the data was converted via a C++ program to a format that was suitable for processing under DOS/Windows on a PC. MS-Windows software CARE was developed using C++; This software performs frequency, crosstabs, high accident locations and other statistical analysis on accident and ticket information.
Fall 85 - Fall 1991
Auburn University
Computer Programmer
Designed, implemented and maintained software for statistical processing of accident data for the Alabama Highway Department. Accident and ticket information was collected by the highway department and sent to us via reel tapes. COBOL programs processed the data and sent it to SPSSx and SAS for statistical analysis. The Auburn University mainframe computer used COBOL, Clist and JCL to achieve this end, whereas the Highway department mainframe computer used COBOL, RPF and JCL to achieve the same processing.
