I have 20 years of experience in computer troubleshooting, networking and repairs as well as electronics. I can answer questions concerning Windows Server 2000/2003/2008/2008R2, hardware repair and upgrades as well as questions regarding Windows XP/7. I also have developped a specialty with VMware 3.5 and 4.1 in the last few years. If I don't know it, I can guarantee I will find the answer. I can answer questions regarding Digital Video Editing as I have edited quite a few short films and a feature.
I have worked both as a Technical Director and Information Technology Manager and I also operated a home-based computer consulting business for many years, which included the installation, update and security of computer systems and Windows servers. I have also drafted many IT Plans and consultation reports for specific recommendations.
My experience ranges from Project Planning to finding different networking solutions for companies. My work has demanded that I keep informed and this has always allowed me to be proactive by keeping up to date with technology; this involves researching and learning on a day to day basis, which I find to be fundamental.
I also co-produced and edited a number of films so I can offer a vast knowledge on the subject.
Some of my credentials include:
Telephony repair and maintenance (2000) - Bell Canada.
ISO 9000 Internal Auditor (1999) - SGS SCI Canada Inc.
Signature Service Consumer Relations (1999) - Wilson Learning Worldwide.
Certified Novell Administrator CNA (1998) Intranetware 4.11.
Micro-Computer Technology, Troubleshooting and Networking (1998).
Electronics Troubleshooting and Repairs (1990-1991).
Office Systems Technology (1989-1990).
Owner of Cutthroat Pictures
