Senior Systems
Engineer - AIX Specialist (11/81 - 01/92)
Hired as an
electronics technician, my career progressed from designing electrical
interface equipment and related software, to executive level marketing support.
During the engineering phase, there was an equal emphasis on electrical
interface design and software application development. I had heavy
manufacturing experience in production environments and was a process equipment
programmer with experience developing production applications and architectures
for many tools including SCARA robots. At the pinnacle of my IBM career, I was
the senior AIX technical specialist in the IBM Executive Briefing Center. This
position entailed development (programming and setup) of marketing
presentations and daily marketing to fortune 500 executives and their advisory
team. It was both technical from a demo development and admin setup
perspective, as well as a marketing presentation perspective. I did it all! The
job included a significant amount of after hours entertainment. I was wholly
responsible for the technical aspects and operation of the
briefing/presentation facility and design and programming of many demos.
Technical coordinator and senior technical support for all AIX & RS/6000
oriented road shows in the continental US. I was a keynote technical speaker at
many world-class trade shows, and traveled extensively in the US and abroad
doing public speaking and executive level marketing. I am a professionally
trained public speaker and have experience in front of LARGE trade show
audiences, as well as daily practice with groups of up to 50. Trained by IBM
and Communispond (the same folks that train the president of the US).
