Professional Experience

Technology Technician : Banning Unified School District
October 2010 – Present
Banning, CA
·         Lead and architected a Citrix Virtual Desktop and Virtual Application deployment which saved the district 90% in energy costs and 47% overall when compared to buying traditional PCs.
·         Developed proof of concepts for both XenDesktop and VmWare View virtualized environments in order to determine which would be best for the district.  
·         Administered over 50 virtual machines in a VmWare ESXi hypervisor environment through the use of VmWare’s PowerShell PowerCLI and Vsphere.

·         Created custom C# applications on demand using the .NET Framework. Most notably, made a program that connected to the Active Directory Servers, downloaded all the computer objects and scanned every computer in the domain through WMI to determine what software was installed on each machine. Also, the project was done on a timeline of less than a week.
·         Created Dynamic and Data rich Word documents programmatically through PowerShell and Word’s COM object. The resulting documents saved the District weeks of document creation that a simple mail merge was not capable of doing.

·         Created a custom VBS script that ensured every user had the appropriate legal disclaimer for the company on all outbound emails from Outlook. Deployment was done through Windows Server Group Policy and the project as a whole reduced the company’s cost by eliminating the need for an Exchange Email Server in their small business environment.
