Bio
Sarita Stevens
Rob was an exemplary tech support rep. He is very knowledgeable in his field - in fact I doubt we tapped the surface if his skills! In dealing with customers, Rob is always polite and able to explain technical concepts with ease to non technical customers. Rob has a great work ethic and good sense of humor to boot. I wish him the success in everything he aims to do.

Rob Woodruff has represented MG Consulting for almost five years and for the last four years has been our IT specialist for at least 90% of our computer requirements. As president and owner of Smith & Laue Search, who has specialized in executive and mid-level management search nationally in the Food Processing industry for almost twenty years, I and my staff of two have relied heavily on their advice and keeping our computers functioning at their best. Rob is the best not only because of his technical expertise, but, also because of his attitude. He is always, not only ready to help, but, when he does he always give full measure and more. If I cannot get him on the phone, I am so used to his quick reply, regardless as to how busy he is, that I have come to trust that he will minimize the down time. I give Rob Woodruff my highest recommendation.

My technical competencies span a range of tools such as PowerShell, Sophos UTM appliances, Cisco and Lenovo switches, with administration skills in KnowBe4, CrowdStrike Falcon, NinjaOne, Ring Central, Zoom, Okta, Microsoft Failover Cluster, Microsoft DirectAccess, Microsoft Azure, Ubiquiti, OpenNMS, and ADAudit Plus. I've consistently developed and implemented custom batch and PowerShell scripts to aid software deployment and Windows updates, and automate routine tasks. A significant accomplishment includes creating a PowerShell script that optimized software package installations to client computers. Holding certifications in Mimecast Gateway Technical Professional and Mimecast Security Technical Professional and training as an ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer, I've significantly reduced downtime and increased productivity. My focus remains on optimizing system performance and security, as well as pushing continual learning.
