I've worked with Bill both at BMS and currently at EDS. He has a very strong work ethic as well as great attention to detail. He has been responsible for developing and maintaining several in-house infrastructure tools. His ability to think outside of the box as well as enlist the opinions of others while ideas are being developed is another strong suit of his. (This. Guy. Knows. Perl.) He is friendly, approachable and has been able to adapt himself to the changing needs of business. A great co-worker!

      When HP purchased EDS, I began working for my third company while supporting the same groups and systems I had been for years. Once again the majority of the tasks remained similar to those listed in my EDS and Bristol-Myers Squibb experience but Newer tasks included supporting the integration of HP specific tools into our standard operating system images and updating our standards and procedures to maintain FDA regulatory compliance.

      When the majority of the IT organization of Bristol-Myers Squibb was outsourced to EDS, my position was one of those transitioned. I continued to administer the same systems and support the same groups, continuing much of the work listed in my Bristol-Myers Squibb experience. One major component of this period was the building out of new infrastructure and migration of many systems into a new data center in Auburn Hills Michigan. I was central to the expansion of our existing Jumpstart and Kickstart environments as well as updating other administrative processes to support the additiional location. Show less
