Setting up of email and file servers for Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows and unixes like Redhat EL, SuSE and FreeBSD.
Network setup and configuration with setup of firewalls and routers (including Cisco's) and forwarding of any external ports to internal servers.
VPN setup and troubleshooting.
I can also setup databases and code the PHP that would be needed to access the data. I have also managed to set up a system that allows email groups to be setup and configured on OS X Server. I have used Dadabik as the MySQL frontend and have written some PHP code to parse the database and a C program that changes the aliases file and runs newaliases.
I also have all the usual skills needed to clean out viruses and spyware and I can build PC's from their individual components as well.
I can create and theme sites based on Drupal. An example of a Drupal site that I have created from scratch can be seen in a picture below and I have a lot of custom backend code running on the site one example that you can see is that the pictures on the multimedia page will scale depending on the size of the browser window, the window has to be refreshed before the new pictures show up because this was the quickest way to code it at the time. The other example is the javascript code that allows you to change the player that is used to watch the streamed video.
I also ride a moped so I can get to the job quickly no matter what the traffic problems.
Areas covered: London
Industry type: Information Technology

I would HIGHLY recommend Michael for any projects that you may have. He methodically worked through the process of uploading our website and database onto our Virtual Private Server. There were a few errors on some of the file scripts that we had and he immediately knew what to do to rectify the problems. Everything was done to our satisfaction and as such we will be commissioning Michael to maintain our server on a fortnightly basis.
I have been doing PC and Mac support for the last 9 years. The things I have supported are literally whatever the customer asks for that I can handle. I have set up Unix, Mac and Windows servers for file sharing and email and then configured the Mac and Windows machines to connect to them. I can set up a Windows Domain Controller for the various versions from NT 4 to Server 2008.
I also have a good knowledge of the registry on Windows and have learned how to clean out some of the newer more advanced spyware variants.
Installed a new Mac server and copied all of the Email and File data from the old server onto it. Set up the spam filtering and also the webmail access. Checked that all of the Blackberries and iPhones could connect to the new server securely. Made sure that the emails could be picked up properly by the PCs and Macs.
Reviews for this job by:Michael provides us with an excellent service and meets all our day to day needs. He is very helpful and always gets the job done.
