Falina B.

I have 20 years of experience in the IT industry working with Start-Ups, Corporate Enterprises and Freelancing with Small Businesses. I consider myself a problem solver first, and I take great pride in leveraging technology to drive businesses and individuals reach their goals. I have a wide range of skills that I developed over the years as I have worked with different types of employers and clients who bring a diverse set of environments and problems to solve. My skillset can be generalised in the following areas - * Windows / Linux Server Administration, * OS Scripting(VB, Bash, Powershell), * Web Application Development(PHP, MYSQL, Python, Postgresql), * Network Administration (Switching & Routing: mostly Cisco, some Juniper experience) You may be asking exactly what type and scale of projects I have undertaken ? To answer I will attempt to summarise the recent highlights of two decades in tech below and I hope that together we can add a few more to this list! * Network Segmentation for a 5 site WAN, migrated from switched layout to a routed segment at each site, using OSPF for optimized routing and growth. * Web Application Development for Government of Anguilla to process and analyze data from Environmental Survey. The main goal was to allow surveys to be submitted and then provide statistics based on answers per question. The solution was completed using PHP / MYSQL backend and a Bootstrap Template for the frontend. * Integration Scripts for Online Casino to poll and send data between their Casino Software provider and their Affiliate System using their APIs. The scripts were written in PHP and exposed some settings and data in a web-based portal. * Asterisk Based PBXs for Call Center for a multinational. We use internal trunks to route calls to the call center in one territory, they can send the call back to local office if needed. * Freeswitch & FusionPBX for multitenant voip hosting. * ESL programming to integrate applications with freeswitch, developing APIs as needed and integrating with the supply chain providers. I used flask heavily for lightweight middlewares * Django api backend using DRF for a payroll and hr management. Our backend handled all of the business logic and payroll calculations as well as AAA. * Proxmox Cluster deployment to support an AFIS environment for local police unit. This deployment expanded beyond the initial scope to support RHEL VMs (I deployed via template and managed with ansible scripts), configuration of the HPE MSA SAN and the Cisco fabric switch zoning, configuration of Aruba switches for access and trunk vlan interfaces and finally routing via the fortigate appliance.
