About

Professional summary

I am a technology professional with more than five years of experience in data analysis, ERP application support, business process improvement, and technical troubleshooting. I have supported both enterprise and small-business environments and am skilled at translating business needs into reliable technical solutions.

My background includes supporting ERP systems, validating and mapping data during ERP conversions, resolving user access issues, and producing reports for business stakeholders. I have worked with SQL, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, Hyperion Brio, and enterprise data warehouses to analyze and synchronize operational data.

I have experience serving as a primary contact for a Unix-based ERP platform used by more than 1,100 employees. I have gathered requirements, supported user acceptance testing, documented processes, tested upgrades, managed help-ticket reporting, and partnered with business and technology teams to improve support outcomes.

I also maintain a hands-on personal infrastructure lab focused on systems administration. I deploy Proxmox virtual machines and LXC containers, manage Docker-hosted services, administer Synology NAS storage, configure VLAN segmentation, and maintain secure VPN and SSL/TLS workflows.

In addition to my technical background, I bring extensive small-business management experience. I have overseen retail and pawn operations, assessed inventory and lending decisions, managed cash controls, and developed an eBay store that significantly increased online sales.

I am continuing to strengthen my infrastructure and cybersecurity knowledge through planned A+, Network+, CySA+, Security+, and CCNA certifications. I am seeking an opportunity where I can apply my ERP support, data analysis, systems administration, and customer-service experience to improve business operations and technical reliability.

Career history

I calculate shipping costs, process customer orders, and provide clear pricing and service information. I help customers with packing, shipping, printing, copying, document finishing, shredding, mailbox rentals, and notary services.

I support daily store operations through opening and closing procedures, inventory management, stocking, cleaning, and maintaining organized displays. I also witness and certify signatures on legal documents and continue training to improve product knowledge and customer service.

Pawn Broker/Manager EZ Pawn and Jewelry

I managed daily pawn and retail business operations, including customer transactions, loan and pawn evaluations, resale purchasing decisions, inventory processing, and cash controls. I ensured operational decisions were fair for customers while supporting business profitability.

I processed expired and forfeited pawns for in-store and online resale. I created and managed an eBay store that expanded market reach and increased annual eBay sales from approximately $5,000 in 2014 to an average of $70,000 to $90,000 by 2023.

Data Analyst Wells Fargo

I researched and resolved participant online-access issues reported through Institutional Retirement and Trust and enterprise business partners. I partnered with business and technology groups to reduce security risks and avoid negative participant experiences.

I compiled, analyzed, and interpreted data across multiple systems to support accurate synchronization. I used Excel macros and VLOOKUPs for reporting, used Microsoft Access to retrieve report data, served as a liaison for enterprise EACO tickets, and documented procedures.

Data Analyst - ERP Conversion Mood Media (Muzak LLC)

I evaluated ERP data warehouse ingestion and confirmed that required ERP data was available for conversion activities. I interpreted ERP data values, supported data mapping, and mapped current ERP customer types to Oracle industries.

I validated transformed warehouse data, identified transaction-reduction needs such as open work orders, and supported ERP data cleanup. I created Excel reports using macros and VLOOKUPs, retrieved data with Microsoft Access, and wrote SQL Server queries for business reporting needs.

Data Specialist OmniSolv

I served as the primary contact for EDI invoices and helped ensure the Prophet 21 ERP system was configured to prevent invoice errors. I supported accurate data management and client setup activities.

I created and maintained process documentation for the Data Management team. I also set up new items and vendors for clients while ensuring documentation remained current and usable.

Applications Analyst Muzak LLC

I was the lead contact for a SCO Unix-based ERP system supporting more than 1,100 users across the company. I supported ERP efficiency and security, tested installations and upgrades, addressed business needs, and maintained strong relationships with business groups.

I gathered data from Hyperion Brio, the data warehouse, and the ERP system to produce reports using Excel formulas, VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, and macros. I also gathered requirements, performed user acceptance testing, created design documentation, ran monthly help-ticket metrics, improved business processes, and documented procedures for the ERP support wiki.

Systems Administrator Personal Lab Environment

I deploy and manage a Proxmox VE environment hosting virtual machines and Linux containers for isolated services. I manage self-hosted Docker services through Portainer and maintain automated SSL/TLS certificate monitoring and renewal workflows.
