David M.

I have 20+ years of experience in Information Technology across a variety of roles (IT Director, Systems Administrator, Software Engineer) and with a wide range of technologies. I enjoy helping companies optimize their use of technology, reduce costs, and resolve problems. I'd love to help your business today! During my time as an IT Director for a large, multi-location non-profit I oversaw all aspects of IT including systems (servers, workstations, printers/copiers, phone systems [PBX]), networks (firewalls, security gateways, switches, wireless access points, ISPs, load balancers), applications (CRM, Office, Creative, Marketing), services (email, cloud storage), and software engineering (websites, web applications). I managed a staff and volunteers that served thousands each week, built out new locations and managed the IT for mobile locations and events. I also have first-hand experience working with IT in creative, legal, construction, social networking, and startup companies. This includes building a self-service housing management solution for a University, implementing industry specific software applications with niche requirements, and maintaining public facing websites under heavy load. I have experience with managing the build out of Building Access Control (BAC) systems, security cameras (CCTV), and even a Fire Alarm System (FAS). I've worked with a variety of equipment (Dell, HP, Cisco, NetGear) and software (Windows, macOS, Linux) over the years but there seems to be a particular interest on Upwork for individuals with Ubiquiti experience. I've been working with Ubiquiti equipment, particularly their UniFi line for 6+ years. This includes building out entire networks from UniFi OS/Console (centralized management/monitoring) to Dream Machines, Network Applications, Cloud Keys, Security Gateways, Switches, Wireless Access Points (WAPs or APs), Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), Cameras, and network video recorders (NVR). This has included load balancing scenarios and usage in temporary locations where traditional cabling was not an option. I'd love the opportunity to help you with whatever IT needs you may have!
