Responsibilities

My position at SureMerchant LLC involves many responsibilities. I lead all software development, as well as serving as the Systems Administrator of all our production servers, specifically +7 IIS Web Servers, and +4 SQL Servers. I’m 100% responsible for the up time of this system, any time an outage occurs I’m the first level of response, and in this situation it is my duty to immediately address the issue to minimize any down time. For the majority of my employment at SureMerchant LLC I have been the only employee with any coding experience. When large projects need additional employees, I am responsible for interviewing, hiring, and managing these new team members.

SureMerchant LLC is a small business and during my time there we staffed a maximum of 6 people and at our fewest I was the only full time employee. I think this detail is important to understand both the breathe of my technical experience but also to understand my ability to work under a very high amount of pressure.
