Safedoor (Securicor eSolutions)

• Systems administrator

  • Dec 2001 - Jul 2002

  Safedoor was an innovative web payments company that was closed down as a bizarre knockon effect of 9/11 - Securicor, the parent company, was involved in US airport security and was 'encouraged' by the markets to concentrate on more core businesses so they closed Safedoor. I looked after and extended the web server infrastructure for less time than I was initially anticipating. Hardware was mostly Sun, database was Oracle, content management was Coldfusion.
