Michael Szablicki

Derek is a very hard working and highly skilled technician. He troubleshoots complex issues promptly and learns new skills just as fast. Derek has significant SAN and LINUX experience and is one of the strongest candidates in town. He has always been committed to getting projects completed on time even if it meant staying late in the time of need. Derek also has a great personality and gets along with even the most stubborn clients. I highly recommend Derek as a superb LINUX or SAN administrator.
