Technology Professionals chime in

[slammmed]

So I figured with all the different people here it'd be cool to know what our different technology skillsets are.

So... if you are a technology professional, i.e.. employed in IT post what you do.

I'll start.

Currently: Application Developer
Past: Systems Administrator
Future: ETL Developer

Technologies: vb.net, Coldfusion, SQL, html.

Enviroments: Windows.

Thats the jist.

[TTFOWIA]

I'm too lazy to write it all, but I'm a network admin/analyst/researcher and I have experience with almost every mainstream servers out there. Workin on Linux, Mac and Windows.
I also have a background as a programmer (C#, Coldfusion, Flash Action Script, SQL, Html, Javascript, VBscript, and much more)

[jombee]

Current: Network Admin for hospitality industry.

Past: A+, Net+ instructor, ran my own pc repair company.

Skillset: Hardware break/fix, network diagnosis, wifi P2P-P2MP, proxim ruckus colubris expert.

[EmoRebellion]

Current: Account Rep for an IBM reseller. Well, technically we are a reseller/systems integrator/solutions architect/etc.

Past: My background is mainly on the technical side. I got my A+ and network+ just after highschool, then I started on my MCSE and some random IBM certs. I worked for Geek Squad, and they paid for my A+ and stuff. Then Kaiser hired me, and paid for my MS and IBM certs. That job was too stressful and too hard on my car, so I quit and moved to sales.

Future: I may decide to move back to the technical side sometime in the future, but right now Im happy. The money is definitely in sales, and as much as I hate to say it.. Im in it for the money :lol:

it's not to be mean, but I hope you're not selling designs like this to your customers... it's not very professional and IMO freakin ugly... I was actually doing stuff like that at 12yrs old...

[ZX2 Sleeper]

That is a site i put together in 2 days so i could pass the class. I do not have customers at all. My actual portfolio is good though.

Nooo couldn't be!!!!:eeek:

[inis]

lmao. Pinging?

actaully ya, I use ping and throughput to find data lost at hubs, bridgers, dns servers, even inside of customers homes.

What I do when I ping stuff, is set up a plotter, and when something fails it pages it to my phone. This way I can look at the rest of the network and compare data. There are instances that I ping something while I'm working on it to find where the fault is.

I'm not pinging in someones home or a inside network like you guys are imagining. I'm pinging equipment across a 150 sq mile area. Using fiber and so forth. Running back and forth through a inhouse network is no biggie. But driving miles back and forth can get exhausting. Pinging equipment for faults is much easier. Sounds rediculous but it really simplifies alot.

[capitalcrew]

Regardless, you're still entering the ping command, which is ping, ip. Done. Of course, you can change size, ping rate, and all of that, but, lol.

Well yes and no, its a very simple task . But the results tell a different story. I'm not just opening up a pc, finding command prompt and going at it. lol

[slammmed]

hey cut the man some slack im sure he uses traceroute too! and im sure he's having to check arp tables etc..

[capitalcrew]

lol

[Connal]

Two years ago I was senior technician for an ISP. I was in charge of tech support for their dsl, wireless, dial up, and web hosting. I also over saw all the repair work done in back, and did in house installs.

I however have experience with unix, linux distros, windows 9x and up, sql, access, html, javascript, C+/++ etc.

I also for a short time taught seminars for seniors, house wives, and anyone above the age of 30 who didn't know what the mouse was for.

Two college degrees in technology, and I'm selling cars and making a killing lol.

[JonsZX2SR]

Principal Engineer for a Fortune 100 company. Background is materials, manufacturing, design and innovation. I look at current company opportunities, identify new technology and initiate development of new products or systems.

In the past 10 years I've worked on people movers (elevators, escalators, etc.) aircraft systems and building systems (lighting, power and HVAC.) Almost everyone here (and probably a majority of people in the US) come in contact with something that I contributed to.

[doyoucompute]

This is my last year as an MIS major, so i'll be looking for a job in the field pretty soon. We focus more on the managing/business side of information systems but we do get technical at times.

[Kage]

Remind me later. I don't have enough time to type all my skill sets. But, basically, systems administration, linux clustering, network administration, programming, web development, on-site systems tech support, etc., etc. Pretty much the whole gamut.

[zxtwou2]

I'm not professional, but I rebuild and sell computers from my house. When I go to college next year I will be majoring in Computer Maintenance Technology. From there I don't know where I will go.

Anybody know any ETL developers? or general Database Admins? I'm trying to get some real world feedback
