About Me

My name is Steve Goodman. I'm happily married to my wife Lisa, and live in Nuneaton, UK.

I work in Birmingham at Aston University as Senior Server Engineer, which involves implementing large systems and developing applications.

I am a Chartered IT Professional (MBCS CITP) and also hold industry certifications including Microsoft MCITP (EMA), MCSE, MCSA, MCTS, VMWare VCP, Sun Solaris SCSA and HP APS.

I work and have been trained on enterprise systems including Windows and Unix clusters, Oracle 9 DB and IAS, EMC Clarrion SANs, EMC Celerra NAS, Exchange 2003/2007 clusters and Active Directory.

I am also formally trained as a programmer and write software in C#, VB.net and PHP on Windows and Unix platforms, typically for system infrastructure automation and management using SOAP and AJAX.
