I would like a part time job in Shannon!

Hi,

I'm an experienced IT professional with over 15 years experience and I am open to new challenges.

I have 10+ years Oracle and MS SQL database administration experience. I have worked in a variety of challenging environments varying from high value manufacturing with Intel, to out-sourcing companies (IBM) and the telecommunications industry(O2 & Meteor).

This has provided me with experience in numerous technologies, systems, procedures and business best practice, in a broad cross section of companies within the industry.  I believe that there are companies in Shannon that could benefit from my broad range of skills. 

I believe that there is a lot I could bring to the table in addition to my IT experience. 

• I have Project Managed many projects during my career, the most recent being the installation and roll out of an office network in a local SME. This involved linking with external suppliers, coordinating staff to a tight timescale and ensuring zero downtime to staff. I have also ran a large long term project in Meteor to roll out Grid Control Monitoring to over 100 servers; liaising with external teams to ensuring the output was available to Monitoring team (SMC) and integrated with company-wide monitoring (HP-Openview).

• I have managed people a number of times in my career. Most recently, I managed the offshore database support working for IBM ensuring that key milestones and all work was performance targets were met, and adequate resources and training were available. This was a challenging role as I was the first DBA to liaise with Musgraves, requiring documentation all of Musgraves business practices and training of the offshore team. This involved organizing workshops with Musgrave staff and documenting the business processes.

• Change Management is a key role in any organization as correctly applied it will reduce the amount of unscheduled downtime which can directly impact the business. I’m used to working within change management best practice, ensuring minimum business impact, and rollback options are available prior to go-live i.e. the weekly code deployments in Payback Loyalty Systems, IBM, Meteor and O2. Also would have been heavily involved with change management for any project go live i.e. Changeover to new production database server in Payback. 

I am flexible about the role as I am interested in achieving a work life balance. I believe that the best work is always done in the morning in most work environments ( bar the last hour before a project deadline!) and as such I would ideally like a role from 9am-1pm daily.
