DOS with Matt C.

Self

When I turned 16, and got my drivers license, I started helping friends, and friends of friends, friends relatives etc. with technology. In 1990, IT people were very rare, it was not nearly a resource that is as saturated as now. I had the very fortunate experience of getting involved in many projects! Back then, there was not an internet to get information, nor was anything 'Plug and Play' as it is today, so I learned so many things at the core level! The love I have for what I do, and the ability to really find my niche, was just awesome! As I get older, I want to start training and teaching anyone, everything I know! I don't feel much like crawling around up in ceiling tiles, or behind server racks much anymore. Here are some areas that I have experience in, as well as some skill traits. Linux Server and Desktop MySQL Administration Microsoft Windows Server ™, Microsoft Windows® Application hosting using Citrix and Microsoft Terminal Services. VWmare – Virtual consolidation and Management WAN Remote Management using VPN, Terminal Services, PCanywhere and VNC. Custom computer design and assembly using proven quality products. Network Analysis (sniffing) Penetration testing and security auditing Data Services (password recovery, data preservation/recovery) Network Administration/troubleshooting LAN/WAN IT Consulting HIPAA Knowledgeable can build a compliant environment. Security, Able to test and build a secure environment. Nationwide travel experience. Management experience. Professional, friendly attitude. Business ownership Training Experience

Alliance of Guardian Angels

I wanted to volunteer my skills to help people, so I joined the Alliance of Guardian Angels. As a CyberAngel I helped take cases of people who needed help with dealing with Internet Hacking, Internet Stalking, and Cyber Bullying, etc. I would help them deal with the situation to help educate and resolve issues, as well as teach them best practices on the Internet.

Melyx Corporation

Melyx Corporation was a company that created Health Care Technology software for Long Term Care facilities (LTC). When I started, there was a need, for a vast majority of our customers, for IT services. I created a department for this, and started to consult LTC facility's around the United States. I personally consulted the entire IT infrastructure for just over 100 different homes. I gained a VAST array of knowledge doing this, as every single one was unique! While doing this, I noticed that a lot of the places just did not have adequate resources to run the software package, so I built one of the first ever cloud based options, for LTC back around 2003. This solution was built on a Microsoft platform, and became very successful! I learned myself, that one great way to learn, was to not be afraid of any challenge in front of me!
