Joseph Connolly

I am an IT professional with a strong generalist skillset. I’ve worked in depth with both

Windows and Linux operating systems, on severs and workstations. I have worked with MS

Office, many email clients, and purpose-specific software like Yardi for property management.

I’ve worked with many purpose-specific applications and devices, like one would find in a retail

or warehouse setting for two examples.

As a programmer, I’m experienced working with databases and SQL, Python, Perl, BASH,

Javascript and VB.Net. I’m able to pick up other languages quickly, comfortable using

development environments from Visual Studio to vi.

I’m ideally looking for a long-term position which takes advantage of my knowledge of

computer hardware and software, but where I also get to interact with people on a regular

basis. I enjoy helping them solve problems using technology. Along those same lines, I am

good with keeping inventory, purchasing and budgeting, training users or junior IT staff, and

researching IT purchases to solve an issue within given constraints.

In terms of my interests and personality, I’m a fan of science fiction, history, and a wide variety

of music. Related to that last interest, my son is learning to be a jazz saxophonist. I’ve

volunteered in schools like Clayton Valley and Kimball Elementary helping to teach basic

computer science. In Concord, my wife and I organized a Makerspace where we held hands-

on science and technology events which were low or no cost to those who wished to attend.
