Stuff

As a Systems engineer I have responsibility for setting up, developing and maintaining computer networks within an organization or between organizations. I support users, who can be staff, clients, customers and suppliers, and troubleshoot any problems that arise.

Other hats I wear include:

• network/helpdesk support
• support/security/systems engineer
• IT/systems support engineer
• network administrator
• first/second-line support
• network architect
• VoIP engineer.

My first job dealing with computers was in tech support for a word processing system located in Southern California. I quickly realized that programming is where I really belonged and got a job programming for the same company. Believe it or not, we wrote everything in assembly language. From there I went to the Entertainment Industry where I did both progamming in C and C++ and hardware engineering plus some customer support. Moving to Silicon Valley, I worked for Symantec Corp and contributed to many of their Products. Moving to the Sacramento Area, I have worked at a number of projects using Access, Sql Server and programming in C#.

I‘m your new Paradox guy. I‘ve been working with Paradox since 1987, PdoxDOS v2. I‘m fluent in all versions of PdoxDOS and PdoxWIN. I was a member of Borland‘s TeamB support group, and Corel‘s CTech support group. My roots are in Southern Maryland and DC, but I‘ve been in the Myrtle Beach area for the past 10 years.

Originally from Spain.

7+ years of working experience, of which the last 4+ took place in different roles in the Marketing department of a multinational Cruise Company.

Happy to embrace new challenges and changes.
