David B. Vasta - Resume - System i Administrator and 17 year IT Veteran
Hello Resume Viewer!
I would like to first say how happy I am that you choose to take a look at my resume. I want to take a second to give you a real quick overview of me and my skills.
I have dedicated my career, the last 17 years, to technology, but mainly the IBM System i (iSeries & AS/400). I am also proficient with Windows Desktop and Server, UNIX , and Linux as well. I enjoy technology and love to tinker with it in my free time as well. I am very active in the System i community and have also presented sessions at COMMON. I have become apart of the Linux on Ssystem i education team and am also a Subject Matter Expert(SME) as well. I think anyone considering me for a position should understand that I bring a lot to the table from an IT and System i perspective. While I may not be the guru of the System i, I understand the data center, IT people and how to make all of that work together to create significant IT savings and productivity.
Photography is my outlet and allows me to be creative. I really enjoy the hunt for great pictures and subjects. I am a very diverse and well rounded person. I mean that mentally not physically.
Currently I am attending college to finish up a degree in CIS. I also enjoy learning and new challenges and look forward to talking to anyone about technology. I would also like to add that I am a very proficient Mac user as well.
My Email Address is in my resume if you need to contact me.
Thanks,
David Vasta
