WORK EXPERIENCE:


            08/97- 6 month contract, Xerox Corporation Inc. Webster, NY. 14580
            02/98 *Supervised a group of key operators in a Xerox test laboratory. The job entailed testing a print server
                   software interface program named Splash which allowed a printer client on a network to send print
                   jobs to a Xerox color copier/printer. In the test lab, my key operators sent a matrix of files from
                   Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft Word, Corel Draw, Freehand and Quark
                   Express over Netware, IPX, TCP/IP and Appletalk networks. My job entailed monitoring the print
                   servers that the jobs were sent to. When an error in the print server software was encountered, my job 
                   was to submit a report to the product development team regarding information such as which job was 
                   in the active queue, the clients that sent the job, and status of the network during the error. The errors
                   were then written up and presented to the Splash engineering team in a sunrise meeting each morning. 
                   I also performed all mechanical maintenance which needed to be performed on the copier/printers.
 
            12/96- Co-op, Medeva Pharmaceuticals Inc. Rochester, NY. 14603
            02/97 *Maintained customer connections for an AT&T DEFINITY System G3i switch. When customers  
                   within  Medeva needed telephone connections, I entered the appropriate information into the switch
                   such as the type of phone to be installed, the extension, coverage path, class of restriction, etc. I
                   also provided voice mail for each new customer which was handled by AT&T's DEFINITY  
                   AUDIX system. I also performed light duty tasks such as performing backups of previous months 
                   call records using AT&T software known as CAS (Call Accounting System) which monitored the 
                   traffic within the switch and outgoing calls made from the switch.

            03/95- Co-op, Digital Equipment Corporation, Rochester, NY. 14650
            08/95 *Responded to customer network hardware needs at Kodak Office. When a customer or department
                   within Kodak wanted  Ethernet service to their office, My task was to write up a detailed work
                   release for the Northern Telecomm installation group. The work release consisted of drawings of
                   the wiring closet to show available ports on the concentrator and sometimes to design the closet
                   layout of new equipment such as the position of relay racks and the position of the devices located
                   on these racks. Other services provided to customers were Phone-Net,  Token  Ring and SNA
                   lines.  All services required determining available ports on the devices associated with these 
                   technologies.

           03/94- Co-op, Cabletron Systems Inc., Nashua, NH. 03060
           08/94 *Tested a SNMP network management software package called SPECTRUM on a number of
                   different brands of UNIX  workstations such as DEC, IBM, SOLARIS, SGI, and SUN.
                   Modification requests were sent to the development team when errors were found in the package. I
                   worked on a section of the package called "reports". When a certain workstation, hub, bridge, or
                   router needed to be analyzed on the network, I would generate a written report of the item to make
                   sure it matched information about the item in the database. 
   
           11/89- Schindler Elevator Corporation,   Gettysburg, PA. 44377
           12/90 *Tested Westinghouse elevator control units for proper operation. Also tested elevator panels which
                   were located in the hallways and inside the cabs that interfaced to the controllers. Special equipment
                   used were digital hand-held meters which input and output data to the controller boards to simulate
                   operation for testing.
