Data Center Operations Technician Tier IV at Rackspace
I have worked in a fast paced Tier 3 PCI Compliant Data Center for 10 years. I have provided great customer service for our managed and colocation clients. I have experience working with several unix based operating systems, Windows Server operating systems, Windows Desktop operating systems, and VMWare ESX operating systems.  I am a hardware specialist with focus on Dell and HP servers and components. I work great with a team but can also work independently to get the job done.  I like to feel like I have accomplished something each day and enjoy learning new skills.  
My five strengths according to the Gallup Strengths Finder assessment are Achiever, Context, Input, Learner, and Intellection.

        Aaraston is one of the brightest and most dedicated DC Technicians I've had the opportunity to manage. His willingness to do what it takes to get the job done coupled with his positive attitude make him a valuable asset to any team.

        I managed Aaraston for a few years in my position of Director of Data Center Operations. He is a very committed and passionate professional. Whenever we had a large project, whether customer implementation, outage or DC consolidation I could always depend on Aaraston to deliver results that exceeded expectations. 
Aaraston's passion for doing things the best way possible created a cleaner work environment and improved documentation, which is often lacking in DC environments. He is the type of team member who will always pitch in, stay late and even offer assistance on a task or project not assigned to him. He is the perfect example of model employee. He adapts to change quickly and positively, always gives 100% and asks questions when additional information is needed for success. 
He would make a positive addition to any team, brining not only a very extensive knowledge of DataCenter and server support but also a fierce passion for both teamwork and professional excellence. I would not hesitate to hire him or recommend him to any organization looking for the best in the bunch.
