How I Operate
Through my experience I have developed many skills which I use on a regular basis. Some of my expertise lie in the fields highlighted below
Sharepoint
I have created and maintained multiple SharePoint websites. They range from employee directories, managed file shares, and even general status pages for employees. With Power Automate I have created automated reports, approvals, and workflows to assist in daily tasks.
Want to Learn Where These Skills Came From?
Experience in both PowerShell and python have allowed me to develop powerful scripts to automate my tasks throughout my roles. They have consisted of simple configuration changes for Windows devices for automated deployments to restructuring tables for reports. With PowerShell the majority of my use came from active directory management to both modify user permissions and various domain migration related needs. Python has been a tool I constantly use to make my roles more efficient through hotkey scripts and network management tools.
PowerShell & Python
Computer Networking
My Adventures in computer networking have allowed me to be exposed to a wide range of products. These have taken me from managing and deploying Cisco equipment through DNA Center as well as CLI, to Fortinet's full product stack including FortiCloud, where I built a network infrastructure from scratch. I even have a fair share of experience with Ubiquiti and their switches, access points, and point-to-point devices for network accessability in remote locations where running cable wasn't realistic, all being managed through cloud based servers.
Script Snips
Snips from some of what I have created
AD User Report from username
This script pulls user information from Active Directory using the input of a csv with usernames
Default Shortcut Replacement
This is an example of a utility script used to replace registry keys and a shortcut on users desktops
AD Management
My role at Sammons Financial Group had me managing users and computers constantly, instead of slow clicking and waiting for the GUI to load I created a script which allowed fast and easy access to any of the AD interactions I did, as well as combined them for multi-step interactions.
Hotkey Macro Script
With Python created a hotkey script which would capture keystrokes and allow you to bind them to a hotkey for quick replay, it stored a library of assignable macros which you could modify quickly and easily. This tool was constantly in use when creating networks and assigning IPs
Docking Station Report
Simple Secureboot Check
I ran into an issue where there was a buggy firmware on docking stations we had deployed so I developed a script which I could run through psexec to identify the dock the user had before updating it.
Sometimes, A complex script isn't needed for the task. Here I created a command string which I could remotely run to check if secureboot was enabled on devices, the output was collected to a txt on a shared drive and then used for reporting purposes.
