About Roger Finlayson

Passionate IT professional with comprehensive knowledge of infrastructure engineering, solutions architecture, and working as a technical leader. Works well independently, or in a team setting providing all facets of infrastructure support such as test, installation, ongoing maintenance, and troubleshooting. Persistent in the identification and resolution of technical issues and concerns. In-depth knowledge and understanding of numerous software packages and operating systems including Linux, AIX, Solaris, and Windows. Excellent communication and presentation capabilities. Technical aptitude allows for quick learning of new skills. I have been involved in many projects with significant impact including implementation of data encryption to tape drives both tactically, with an inline encryption solution, and strategically by converting the tactical solution through hardware replacement with encryption capable tape drives. I have developed scripts and automation that helped reduce human error while configuring zoning of tape drives through several appliances, thus reducing server implementation times. I have found that being able to follow problems through to resolution is important and I am looking for an opportunity that allows these \"wins\" to be recognized. Additional skills acquired along my path include: Software Development System Administration Scripting/Automation Operations Center Bash/Python SQL Windows/Linux/AIX/Solaris DevOps Networking
