Employment History

Dec. 1997 - Present      As Systems Administrator for ******  I maintain 38 servers in the Host Computer Room that perform with Unix, Linux, and NT platforms. We have thirteen T1 lines broken-out into 300 modems.  We register up to 200,000 products a day.  In the Host Room we process all the registration records and maintain a database of this information.  This database is then processed for statistical information and marketed in thousands of different ways all over the world.  Some of my responsibilities include:
Repairing and updating all hardware as needed.
Maintaining and updating all operating systems software as needed.
Providing the Host Room with a cosmetically attractive appearance to visitors.
Required to login at root level to make all Host Installation Requests from our various departments.
Development and maintenance of a system of backups for general use and disaster  recovery.
Monitoring all errors from system computers and providing a digest of important errors to engineers, programmers, and managers.
Maintain accounts, passwords, and permission for all users.
 In only three months I was able to transform the Host Room from a cosmetic and technical disaster (data cables on the floor, CDs and tapes not properly labeled or stored, lack of documentation, etc.) into what the Director of Sales and VP General Manager state as, “an appealing showcase”.  Due to my labors, I was selected as the company’s first Employee of the Month.

July 1994 - Sept 1997     I decided to open my own used car lot in view of the potential for a substantial income and my confidence in my ability to sell anything. This business endeavor failed because of the loss of my main source of capital.  In this endeavor I did gain an abundance of experience in business activities ranging from selling cars, managing a repair shop, apprising cars, finance and leasing, and the study of a customers thought process while under pressured to "buy now".  During my enterprise I did continue to keep my computer skills sharp by performing a limited amount of consulting on Unix related point of sale procedures and general accounting.

Nov. 1984 - June 1994    As Owner & General Manager of Name of Company: Corporation I was responsible for the Profit and Loss of the corporation.   It was my responsibility to design a budget that instituted a natural obtainable growth profit pattern each fiscal year.  I also took direct charge of all hiring in order to direct the staff  that would best accomplish this goal of profitably.  At Computer Ways & Means we automated pharmacies (point of sale) and business (order entry) computer systems. We sold and supported Real World Software that ran on Unix and DOS platforms.  The accounting software we supported included General Ledger, Account Receivable, Accounts Payable,  Payroll, Order Entry, Inventory Control, and Purchase Order.   We also sold and supported PCS pharmacy software to which we owned the source code.  This PCS software completely automated the prescription filling process, from drug interaction to third party billing.  As a small corporation of 11 employees, I was the "go to guy" on sales, support, and installation.  After 10 years I sold my company to HealthCare Computer Corporation. Jason Barto, who was my Service Manager, is currently a System Analyst for HealthCare Computer Corporation. (817) 413-9363 exit 268
