I am a Software Developer with significant experience in the application and support of computer and networking technology. My technical proficiency encompasses varying degrees of knowledge, training and experience in requirements planning, system architecture, configuration, implementation, user training and technical support/troubleshooting.

I am also a highly productive staff and team member who has worked with Hughes Network Systems/ Direcway Internet via Satellite. I am well known in Direcway as a top level tech support person. For example, when the Tier -3 Partners (EarthLink, ExploreNet, Wal-Mart, Chevron, YUM, Nabors…) are unable to resolve their technical issues, it is escalated to me, and I resolve the problem with the NOC/HUB in a short span of time.

In addition, I wrote an E-book on how to troubleshoot satellites. I am in the process of completing software for dealers and installers specializing in VSAT/GPS/VOIP
