NATIONAL SECURITY ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION: Federal Public Trust (SF-85P) [Interim]. [See the footnote in the Word document.]

The ideal position will leverage my technical skills and abilities to support the business and colleagues. I am eager to learn (e.g., cloud technology) and I excel at entities that provide a supportive environment for growth.

 

I leverage my diverse experience to develop solutions for complex challenges. My contributions align with the strategic direction of the entity and/or the technology.

 

I have provided IT services, as a consultant, a contractor, and an employee.

At each company/client, I adapt accordingly.

  • I walk the talk about learning and implementing technology.
    • When I began working for the NYC DOE, I had not used PowerShell recently and I had never supported Hyper-V. Now with minimal human input, the PowerShell script (40,000 lines) I created configures Hyper-V with three Windows-based virtual machines and one optional Linux CENTOS-based virtual machine.
  • In addition, I strive to maintain and expand my skills.
    • I use LinkedIn learning online classes.

    • I managed MNPI, and other confidential data/matters.
    • At Lloyds Bank, I participated in domestic and international legal matters, managed aspects of audit/compliance/regulatory functions, and resolved a category of HR issues.

IT Journey

  • I have been an entry-level support technician and an IT Director.
  • While at Lloyds Bank, I had the authority to make decisions on behalf of the US entity. 

Lastly, it is my belief I have received personal recommendations from C-level executives because of my strong moral values and work ethic.

  • From a VP of Application Support at [ ] Bank: James is a hard worker and is very knowledgeable on various platforms.
  • From a Recruiter: Just got off the phone with [Head of IT at [ ] Bank)] … He had great things to say about you and I know it will be very helpful as we move forward in speaking about your strong technical abilities.
  • From a CTO: I just wanted to let you know that your diligence with working with […] is really paying off. They have been much more responsive, and they are actually getting things done!
