What I do
Infrastructure Design
I plan, document and ultimately implement high performance and cutting edge server and storage systems. These systems are then passed off to Systems Administrators and Systems / Storage Engineers to maintain and manage.
Endpoint Computing
I work with the business to assess and make informed decisions on computing endpoints – these have ranged from cell phones and mobile device managers to implementing Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and physical desktops / laptops. Part of this is also Endpoint Security as endpoints tend to be the biggest vector of malware.
Implementation / Documentation
After planning and architecture are complete and meeting / exceeding business requirement and best practices, I implement and document the technologies. These can range from server and storage refreshes to full out new development computing systems.
What else do I do?
Agile
Adhering to agile project management methodologies, but not limiting the project by them – there are other, more traditional project management skills and methodologies that can help with the project.
Tier 3 Escalation
If the help desk is under water or need to escalate, being the tier 3 resource in the escalation chain to quickly remedy any potential issues.
Design and Build
Making design decisions around both physical layout and logical infrastructure.
Teamwork
A large part of any organization is teamwork and being able to meet objectives and project goals together.
