Since mid-September of 2005, I've been working as a senior sysadmin at Upromise, a company in Needham MA (a (nearby) suburb of Boston) that helps families save for college, by setting up incentive programs with various companies to contribute a percentage of people's everyday spending into education savings accounts; and helping people invest and manage their investment as it accumulates. It's a pretty neat idea, with lots of great people, and I like it here a lot. |
Before coming to Upromise, I was a sysadmin (and then manager-of-sysadmins, and then sysadmin again) at Caltech for six and a half years, mostly through ITS, culminating in a nearly two year stint with CACR; a sysadmin (and then manager-of-sysadmins) at NetMarket (RIP) for four and a half years; and a sysadmin (and manager-of-student-consultants) at Harvey Mudd College for the two and a half years before that. I'd describe myself as a SAGE Level 4 (Senior) sysadmin, though my in-depth technical skills are not quite up to that level; my expertise is more in design & architecture, troubleshooting, and management (when the circumstances are right -- I'm a good sergeant, but only a mediocre captain). I've worked in computer support since January of 1989, when I took my first real job, as a student consultant at Swarthmore College. I've been involved in some sort of Unix system administration since the summer of 1992, and all of my home computers (three Linux boxes and a Mac laptop) run some variety of Unix. I have DSL at home, and use all those computers to run a small network out of my apartment, where I host mail and web services for my personal domain (infersys.com) and a couple of other domains for friends and family. My resume has more details about where I've been, what I did there, and what I'm good at.
