Various .com companies | Dallas, TX RHEL Linux/Solaris/NT Administrator
October 1997 – June 2002
Startup employees in the late 90s and early 2000s had to be Jill-of-all-trades. Though the primary role was a Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Solaris, and Windows NT Administrator, skills across the board were needed (E.g., Linux, Unix, and Windows Administration; Network Protocols; DNS; Email Protocols; Router and Switch configuration; load balancer configurations; network security; database administration). The foundational experience has been invaluable in my current efforts to always “Make the complex consumable.”
