DCT London
IT tutor teaching html, css, JavaScript, Flash and Office applications. I also maintain the intranet server which I migrated from a mishmash of statically linked html files to a scripted database driven site (using php and mySQL) and thereby radically reducing maintenance time (running freeBSD 4.5, Apache http server, modphp and the mySQL data base server). I also maintained a dhcp server and a dns server (BIND) to simplify the use of the intranet.
Additionally, I designed and implemented a fault reporting system of the IT Services department. The system written in php and using mySQL as a database is searchable and correlated faults to individual workstations as well as maintaining a common reference for problem solving.
Set up and maintained a computer lab of 18 workstations running freeBSD 4.7, using nis and nfs and maintained a freeBSD server to act as an nis server and nfs server.
