Work Experience:

Illinois Medical District Commission – Chicago, IL

Development and Administrative Consultant

Development Projects:

The primary development task was to consolidate the real estate asset inventory system and Accounting department reports into a centralized database-driven application. Designed for the Legal and Accounting departments, this solution stored critical physical asset and real estate data. Project development was supplemented with custom-built Quality Assurance tools. Additional development tasks included IMD web site development, and an Outlook-integrated Trouble-Ticket system.

Network/Security Administration:

Numerous network and security projects were completed for this client.  Project work fell under four categories: Systems Migrations, Security, Disaster Recovery, and General Administration. 

Significant migrations included moving to Exchange 2000, PDC services to Windows Server 2003, and the IMD network infrastructure to a new T1 provider. Security projects included construction of two Linux firewalls, a Linux-based email filtering server, and creation of new network auditing procedures.  For Disaster Recovery, I was chosen to define and author a new Disaster Recovery Policy.  I assisted in its implementation, and was brought in as a consultant during three separate disaster situations.  To reduce costs and increase control and accessibility, I also internalized IMD Domain Name Services by building a new, custom DNS server.  Additionally, I was in charge of all Level 3 end user support as necessary.
