My current responsibilities include the planning, administration, operation and support of the network infrastructure, computing environment and related services within the Waisman Center.

Some of the more visible network services and activities I support are:

• System management of a VMScluster of workstations serving over 400 users
• Internet E-mail and automated LISTSERV mailing list configuration and maintenance
• WWW server configuration and updates
• Logon, File and print services for Windows and Macintosh clients
• Network client software configuration and setup (NT domain/file/print services over TCP/IP)
• Domain name service (DNS) for the waisman.wisc.edu domain.
• Other TCP/IP services such as POP, IMAP, FTP, NFS, BOOTP, DHCP, SNMP, TELNET and SSH.
• Configuration and maintenance of associated network equipment such as hubs, switches, bridges, terminal servers and routers.
• Day to day consulting and troubleshooting of network related issues and problems.
• Analyzing network usage and resources to plan for upgrades that will determine the future Waisman network environment.

I am also a member of the UW Tech Partners and the Campus Network Advisory Group (NAG).
