Professional Reference for James O. Walker Jr.From: Daniel MayerSr. Network Systems Administrator at LandisGyr2800 Duncan RdLafayette, IN 47904PHONE NUMBER AVAILABLETo whom it may concern,James came to our company in August of 2018 as an IT contractor to fill a Tier I lower level help desk position. As an unofficial on-site supervisor, I worked alongside him during his time here on a daily basis. His main duties were help-desk ticket and call routing for all sites within the company, domestic and global, but he also greatly assisted with local user software and hardware issues via walk-ins or from instructions by myself or by my co-worker. In addition, he always completed the higher-level tasks I was able to assign to him on occasion while at same time assisting with basic Tier I daily duties. While James was with us, he was very helpful with offering suggestions of how to resolve issues that were often well above his scope of responsibilities.James is highly capable, professional in his manner with internal and external customers, eager to help, and has IT knowledge and experience well above the position he was in while employed here. My personal belief is that he should be considered for higher level positions as he has the experience, knowledge, and attitude necessary for the advanced positions that come available.Although James was an hourly worker with not much opportunity for overtime, he would often research, test, and on occasion even implement potential solutions to daily problems after hours on his own time.He is a hard worker with a strong technical background and has a "can-do" attitude, which in my opinion was somewhat hampered by the constraints of the contracted company he worked for, and was not given the opportunity to explore his full potential, which in my opinion would have been an ongoing asset to both the contractor firm he worked for and to our company as well.Professional Summary SCCM:I have been using the SCCM in accordance with the corporate rules in the places Ive worked it has not been in a server room capacity but as a remote desktop support tool for imaging, patching, monitoring, remote viewing, configuration and diagnostics. Its a wonderful tool but many places are switching over to Baumgartner for remote work.Regards,James WalkerLength of Professional ExperienceTwenty-Nine years experience providing IT Infrastructure field support which includes troubleshooting hardware, software, operating system issues and problems and fixing the issues without impacting / violating the hardware warranty or customer security compliance requirements.Hands on experience in installing, troubleshooting and fixing desktops, printers, laptop and other computer peripherals hardware problems as well as desktop applications.NBasic knowledge of enterprise LAN and WAN setups and concepts.Ability to lift / move computer equipment weighing up to 50Lbs.Skilled in desk side support and PC break/fix including basic administration of Windows O/S.Experience with Anti-spyware and Anti-virus software.Knowledge of TCP/IP networking, DNS, DHCP, VPN, and RDP.Smart hand support for peripheral and networking hardware, including, but not limited to monitors, keyboards, mice, printers, fax machines, scanners, wireless-appliances.Ability to troubleshoot issues with systems and networks using good deductive reasoning skills.Good written and oral communications skills with clients and management as well as people skills.Ability to work with deadlines and complete tasks on-time.Do you have experience with VIP level support/Executive and if so, how many years' experience? 29Have you ever worked for Unisys as a contractor or FTE?
