Employment

2007 - Present  Cerner Corporation                              Kansas City, 
Missouri

Technical Support Analyst/Remedy Developer/Remedy Administrator

Duties primarily consisted of user/group/application administration within the 
Remedy (BMC) application.  Development efforts were naturally included, 
customizing/troubleshooting the application to user's specific needs.  Further 
maintained the underlying hardware/software for the platform to maintain 
uninterrupted uptime.  Relating to the application, this included patch 
management and upgrades, troubleshooting, and licensing management.  The 
overall application resides within a SQL 2K5 structure, so fairly extensive 
knowledge was required of that platform as well.  Versions used here are 7.0 - 
7.5 (ARS, ITSM, etc)

Managed specific user requests, for both enhancements and concerns, through a 
separate Incident Management system. 


2000 - 2007     Williams Lea at Shook, Hardy & Bacon    Kansas City, Missouri

HelpDesk Level 1 Lead/Level 2 Floater/Remedy Administrator/Remedy Developer

Started out as a HelpDesk Level 1 Lead, supervising the day to day operations 
of the Level 1 (telephone support) HelpDesk.  Supervised 9 people in that 
regard, with scheduling, product development and resource creation/utilization. 
 HelpDesk was new to this Firm and all procedures needed to be mapped out.  
Developed many of the tools necessary to get the service off the ground and 
developed the reports detailing progress of the Level 1 staff.  Maintained the 
primary HelpDesk interface, Lotus based cSupport, on an NT box with full admin 
responsibilities (user/application maintenance, backups, disaster recovery, 
etc.)

Moved laterally to a Level 2 Floater position directly beneath the Operations 
Supervisor for Level 2 (Deskside Support).  In this capacity, I continued with 
server duties as listed above and merged two roles.  Acted as an ultimate 
resource for user/staff issues, "jack of all trades" and acted as Project 
Manager for any projects resulting from user or management requests/feedback.

Moved laterally to a Remedy Development/Administration position that opened up 
when this system was introduced to the company and the firm.  The Action 
Request System, Helpdesk 5.0 and Asset Management products were integrated for 
use by 120 users supporting a user population of 2500.  Installed the servers, 
implemented the software, customized the software to this environment and 
trained the users on its use.  After implementation, continued with development 
and administration duties ranging from normal day-to-day admin tasks to 
completely new application development to major customizations to fit the legal 
environment.  Also produced and maintained reports from the system (using 
Crystal 9) to include Helpdesk and Asset Management data.
