2009->Present

Open Text Corporation


Arriving as approximately the 350th employee of Open Text Corporation and leaving a workforce of close to 3,500, I saw and oversaw a great deal of growth and change over the approximate 11 years of employment. Starting as a Senior System Administrator, I quickly moved up to a Director position reporting directly into Senior Management/Executive. I initiated and participated a large number of internal and external initiatives and I was the driving force bringing security issues and their resolution to the attention of the Executive and by extension the company at large.

April 1998 –> January 2009
Kinchlea Compupter Consulting

 


Small systems sales and support, remote and local systems administration, custom coding, security review and recommendations, network design and implementation, and computer training for the consumer, small business, and education markets. KCC was not run as a focused business, rather as a convenient business name to describe a freelance consultant with a growing set of skills and experiences. Highlights were:
 June 1990 –> April 1998
Computing and Communication Services, UWO
Virtually all computing at UWO before 1990 was done through a central service-providing department called, at the time, Computing and Communications Services (CCS). I worked on User Desk Support for CCS where I cut my computing teeth and met a lot of really decent people!
 September 1986 –> April 1990
