About

I was an intricate part of design and migration from Novell to Microsoft Active directory at OPS. I designed the file and active directory structure and put security policies in place from the ground up. I also designed and managed the wireless install to achieve 100% wireless access in seven buildings. We managed switches and VLANS off the private network from the public, made a secured public and private wireless with active directory authentication, setup LDAP to all capable devices and services including the website to the copiers, and created application packages to push out to end users cutting down on countless technician hours going around and installing applications.
