      Computer engineer

      During my time there I was part of a two man team providing support to nearly 800 end users. I initially started on a sandwich year as part of my Business Information Systems degree from the University of Hertfordshire. I gained invaluable expertiese working across all areas of IT as we supported everything from Desktops to Microsoft Windows Server 2003 terminal services, file servers and Microsoft Exchange 2003. I continued to work there during my final year of my undergrad degree and then returned to work full time upon completion. At which point I was also asked to step up and act as Information Manager to look after the Centre's incident reporting procedures and train other members of staff in how to process these. This was done almost in tandem with my previous post. Show less

      As a computer engineer I worked in first and second line support for the ICT Service Desk. My duties mainly surrounded user accounts using Novell Identity Management Systems which linked the majority of end user systems together. During my time in this post I also helped maintain over 3000 PC's and other end user equipment (Screens, Printers etc). Whilst in post I also lead the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure deployment to make use of VMware View. This included design, building and implementation of servers and end user equipment. Show less
