Ever since my first job as a Computer Repair Technician, I absorbed
any and all IT related information like a sponge. As the years passed and my
experience grew, this thirst for new learning opportunities brought new
challenges and
even bigger accomplishments.
As a Systems Engineer, my clients have expected me to not
only make sensible infrastructure upgrade recommendations, but to also
implement such changes with clearly defined scheduling, real-time
communication
and minimal downtime for testing and project cut-over.
Some of these projects included:
Hyper-V High Availability clustering with Nimble and NetApp SANs
Exchange 2007/2010 to Office 365 Server migrations
P2V migrations
WDS/MDT implementations
Microsoft Azure Migrations
VLAN segregation for Digium/Shoretel
EIGRP over MPLS Network implementations
VPN deployments with Sonicwall and Cisco.
Cloud managed wireless with Fortinet
Nothing
worth learning comes easy and I live by that notion by constantly working to
improve myself both professionally and personally.
The AZ-500 and OSCP certification are on the horizon for me and I’m looking forward
to the challenge
and the opportunities I’m certain they’ll bring along.
While I try to exercise a wide scope of skills, there are some that I have had more experience with than others. Primarily I work as a face to face and over the phone Systems Engineer, designing and deploying solutions to best
meet our clients needs. Throughout my projects, I have used software suites like LabTech, Kaseya, N-Able and ConnectWise to help manage and streamline the process.

"...He has learned a tremendous amount during his tenure. A number of clients have enjoyed working with Nate and ask for him to be assigned to their accounts. Nate was able to tackle difficult assignments with little coaching as well as handle minor tasks without complaint..."

"As Nate’s confidence increased, rather than becoming comfortable with his daily responsibilities, he would request to be assigned to more difficult tasks so he could continue his growth."

"...Nate was able to grasp and carry out our in-house procedures remarkably fast too. Our clients were always satisfied with his work and pleasant demeanor as well. He was able to work in a sometimes extremely hectic and demanding environment while remaining calm and efficient."
