My personal background
I am a self-taught IT Professional with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and Business management. Currently Administrations Manager including the IT, Financing, HR, Inventory and Accounting departments for a company involved in the servicing, repair and manufacturing of agricultural equipment, with our main focus being South Africa's only Bell Equipment service agent. We also supply spares, tyres, lubricants and mechanical hardware to farmers.
As the only Windows-based IT employee I'm responsible for all IT hardware, software, network and the phone/fax system across all areas of the business. IT department Day-to-day operations cover hardware maintenance, desktop support, system build, backup, software installations and all IT-related purchasing (covers 5*desktops and 2 servers employing 30+). Past experience covers desktop support (primarily DOS/Win9x/2k/XP) and small business network design/installation/operation (DOS/W2kSVR). I've written websites in html and habitually gather PC's in case they're "useful" in the future. Currently working on: phasing out manual systems, DOS based software and integrating it into windows based system. Lately I have taken a fancy to MS-VM.
