John Blackburn’s Summary
Senior Unix Administrator with extensive experience with Solaris 8 and 9, and some experience with HPUX and SLES.
As a Senior UNIX Administrator, I enjoy putting my mind to solving problems and creating technical solutions. I enjoy analysing a situation and highlighting issues that have been overlooked.
I am always willing to assist clients with technical problems at all levels. I understand that everyone has different levels of knowledge, and it is necessary to talk to people at their own level. I always make an effort to ensure that people I am talking with do not feel threatened or inferior.
I believe that team work is important and that team members should support each other. Throughout my career, I have been part of the selection process for new staff, and I found it rewarding mentoring new staff, transferring my skills and providing technical leadership.
