How would you describe your time at BAE Systems?
As the Group Manager for the IT Infrastructure Support group, I am responsible for the management of all of the personnel that support both the internal and external customer LAN infrastructure.

Overall, my responsibility is to manage a $1.8 million labor budget, as well as a $2.5 million hardware and software budget.

In the course of my employment I have learned different UNIX shell syntaxes, such as Korn shell, C shell, and Bourne Again shell (BASH). I was responsible for researching and procuring the proper types of servers and operating systems for many projects. I was also in charge of maintaining a Gauntlet firewall that is used to protect our company from a US Navy Extranet. Another responsibility was to manage the access lists on the Cisco routers and provide static routes for internal users to access the Navy Extranet. I also ensured that the firewall was installed and setup properly. Additionally I was the Project Manager for the hosting of an Internet web site for our Navy customer. I installed and managed Cisco routers, including a 4500M, a 2500 series and a 1600 series. We currently have 3 remote sites that are attached to our routers through dedicated leased lines that terminate at our routers. Finally, I managed a team of other administrators to troubleshoot any computer problems that occurred within our department and consulted on problems from other departments....
