Information Security Analyst/Business Continuity Coordinator
In this position, I provided network and computer support for as many as 30 locations at a given moment. I managed my schedule to provide quick and reliable service. I repaired, replaced, and maintained PCs, Wyse winterms, printers and network equipment. I also was in charge of both opening and converting new banks to UCBI. I single handedly set up all the equipment on site at my branch over night to have it ready for regular operations the next day. I also participated in local and company-wide projects to update or replace vital equipment in remote branches across the company footprint.

United Community Bank
Network Services Field Technician
This was a part time business my roommate i set up in the Stateboro/Savannah area. We worked with local customers choosing, configuring and installing : Computers, Networks, IP security Cams etc..... We worked mostly with individuals on common computer problems and also on larger projects for small businesses in the area. In some cases, we simply provided training on a one on one basis for the users at the company or individuals at their homes. I left this company after accepting a position at UCBI and my partner continued the business in the Savannah area under the the name XS-Technologies inc. He joined another company and disbanded this company soon after.

About
I am an experienced professional working in the banking industry primarily in the technology area. My first 6 years were in IT and the remainder of my 18+ year career has been in Information Security, Vendor Management, and Business Continuity. I have worked on vendor management, IT risk assessment, audit/examination prep and response, GLBA and SOX compliance, information security awareness training, BCP training, BCP/DR testing, policy creation, business impact analysis, firewall configuration, managing content filtering, IT governance, and many more topics that are listed in my full profile. I have a demonstrated ability to work with others on projects of varying sizes and to communicate efficiently and effectively with my colleagues. I have gained quality experience in my field thus far, but I am still working to improve myself as a professional.
I am also trying to expand my knowledge through education. I recently completed, the University of Georgia Information Systems Security Professional Certificate program which is based off the 8 domains of the CISSP. Also, I have completed the official courses for ITIL foundations, CEH, CHFI, Windows server, and Network+, among others.
