CISSP (July 2021).

Ive been working with Windows since Windows 3.1.  Now I use Windows 11/10, and Windows Server 2022/2019/2016.

I passed ITIL Foundation in April 2021.

CEH (Aug 2023).

The best class I ever took relating to Office is ‘Computer Applications in Business’ which was offered by St Louis Community College, and  it included  Microsoft online training.  Awesome class. Until one has undertaken detailed training in Office applications (Word, Excel, Access, Powerpoint, etc) I submit its almost impossible to be an Office ‘power’ user!

Collaboration with executive management to provide the best possible IT systems to support the business.

CND (Sept 2024).

I’ve been working with various flavors of Linux since 1996. These have included Ubuntu, Kali, HP-UX, and others.

I’ve been working with Oracle/SQL since 1988! Work has included creating/updating/supporting databases, using a wide variety of tools.

Back in the late 2010’s I worked with ALM (formerly Quality Center) and upgraded servers/databases/projects from 7.6 thru ALM 12.5
