Computer Employment History
Computer Support
15 Years - Self Employed
Based in Wasilla, Alaska
I worked as a software analyst and provided troubleshooting support for; MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95, 98, 2000 and XP operating systems. I performed the installation and upgrades of hardware; motherboards, modems, ports, hard drives, memory chips, video cards and other peripherals. I provided technical support for internet and various other related software applications. I primarily solved problems by phone when possible, but provided extensive on-site and in-shop services where required. I also instructed clients on the art of utilizing software more efficiently through hands-on training.
I served as the webmaster for a weekly on-line newspaper for 6 months until I had sufficiently trained staff to take over those responsibilities. During this term of self employment I was also the webmaster for at least 50 sites. I have personally designed in excess of 10,000 web pages. I was (and still am) the web server administrator responsible for maintaining over 100 sites consecutively while simultaneously providing a wide range of hypertext markup language (html) instruction. I became well trained in the administration of web servers for Java, Apache and Cobalt based servers.
I supervised other web designers, editing their designs to insure proper coding, cohesiveness and accuracy.
I proficiently performed computer repair in 6 states, 3 provinces and 1 territory.
I was the systems operator for South-Central Alaska's largest Excalibur BBS (windows-based). I provided hardware and software configuration, and ongoing troubleshooting services, to a wide range of clients. All software was learned by hands-on training. I designed all the operator screens for use on my own system, and, others systems world-wide. My system is now off line.
I provided PC support as needed.
