Senior Administrator

Coforge • Full-time

Mar 2021 - Present • 5 yrs 6 mos

Senior Administrator at Coforge, supporting enterprise IT operations for a long-term contract client on a full-time basis since March 2021. I manage and administer GitHub Enterprise, Jira, and JFrog Artifactory across development teams, along with ServiceNow for enterprise service management, all with admin-level access. My day-to-day work covers user and permissions administration, workflow and process configuration, troubleshooting, and cross-team support for engineering and IT staff. I also bring strong hands-on JavaScript experience into this role. Before Coforge, I spent over a decade at KAR Global in IT and telecom support and ServiceNow administration, building a solid foundation in enterprise systems and client-facing technical support. With 25+ years in IT overall, I bring the same reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication to freelance projects that I apply in enterprise environments every day.

Technical Analyst

OPENLANE

Sep 2007 - Jul 2020 • 12 yrs 10 mos

Nearly 13 years at KAR Global (now known as "Openlane") (Sep 2007 to Jul 2020) across four IT support roles. Most recently, as a Support Analyst, I managed corporate network and account access via Active Directory, administrating employee access to internal tools, accounts, and websites. Before that, as a ServiceNow Technical Analyst, I administered the corporate ServiceNow platform: assigning and reassigning account groups, converting daily requests and incidents into Agile stories, and using Agile Scrum processes to build and modify Service Catalog items and automated approval workflows. I supported three major ServiceNow releases (London, Madrid, New York). Earlier still, as a Unified Communications / Telecom Technical Analyst, I administered and provided break/fix support for 100+ telephone systems across Avaya and Nortel platforms (Aura Messaging, System Manager, CS1000, BCM, Call Pilot), coordinated with telecom carriers to resolve service outages, and deployed a Fax2Mail e-faxing service to roughly 70 finance locations across North America. I started as an Operations Monitoring Technical Analyst, monitoring production systems and websites and handling outage escalation. That progression, from monitoring to hands-on platform administration to process automation, reflects the same systems-thinking and reliability I bring to every freelance project.
