PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Managed a project to restore computing functionality for the Chiefs and Executives of The Port
Authority of NY & NJ after the events of 9-11. This required getting communications restored
to allow the Agency to conduct business with other agencies and the governors of both states.
To achieve this goal, new laptops and desktops were acquired and set up with standard Agency
applications for use by all executives. The end result was a successful implementation with little
to no interruption of day-to-day tasks, which allowed the Agency to remain in operation.
Designed and built the Livelink service for the Technology Services Department. This required
the implementation of new “document management” technology for an Agency that was heavily
invested in moving paper documents. This allowed them to save time in locating important
documents and fostered document sharing and collaboration on various tasks. The end result
was all documents being stored electronically, saving time spent in document search and
supporting all documents being stored in one central location.
As Manager of LAN Planning & Design I reviewed the QA checklists for new desktop images
and server builds. I also performed the QAs on the new images. Our vendor created images
based on our standards and I would then load the image and confirm that it met our
specifications by completing an extensive set of tests. I streamlined the original checklist, which
the vendor created, by removing outdated and redundant steps. I took a process that normally
took days to complete and shortened it to a matter of hours. This allowed us to more quickly
determine if the desktop image was ready to go “gold”, or had to be returned to the lab for
additional rework.
