A position working with intelligent creative people using computers as a medium for artistic expression, invention and entertainment.
I have been doing myriad freelance art & technology jobs including: computer consulting and system administration (unix, dos/windows, MacOS), computer networking and internet services, desktop publishing, film, video, photography, and music production. My goal has always been to empower people & create beauty through technology.
I keep a "multimedia" lab of Macs, PCs, and Sun Sparc machines running efficiently. I install, upgrade and configure new application software, and assist the users with their projects.
I was employed by IES at several different times interspersed with my schooling. My duties included telephone technical support and on-site installation and trouble shooting of Novell networks and IES developed software.
I spent the majority of my time at Hewlett Packard with their Surface Mount Technology Group. I was initially doing data entry, but I quickly graduated to working in the SMT lab with myriad board-level development equipment including robotics and microphotography.
I assisted in the running of one of the top grossing stores in the chain, and was primarily responsible for supervising the sales staff and ensuring good sales figures. I tracked and managed inventory, worked directly with customers, and all other tasks necessary to the smooth running of the store.
Major: Film Production (including Film, Video, and Multimedia Productions)
