John Miller's Email

Made an IT focus shift in December 2012 to Information Security, specializing initially on Vulnerability Assessment, Incident Response Management, and Malware Forensics. For the 16+ years prior to that I was focused primarily on end-point technologies for Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, and Apple iOS devices. In 2012 I was focused on bringing more OS X devices into a Windows Active Directory environment before handing that responsibility to a more Apple-centric employee. This included ensuring security standards were maintained, new deployment technologies (imaging, application deployment, and patch management) were implemented, and documentation for both end-users and technical support staff was created. Throughout my IT career I have spent time working with Board Members, C-Level Executives, Upper and Mid-Level Management, as well as employees. I also have some consulting experience, both with internal departments and professionally for other companies. Twice in my career I have had the opportunity to manage teams of 5-10 technical engineers. In both instances my love of technology lead me to ask to return to a senior technology role. Specialties: Vulnerability Management Scanning, Application Virtualization (ThinApp and App-V), Desktop Virtualization (VMware View, VMware ACE, VMware Workstation and Fusion, Microsoft Virtual PC, and Microsoft MED-V), and client management (SMS 2003 and SCCM 2007, as well as Dell KACE).

Helped drive the technology advance of OS X devices in a Windows AD environment, including standing up a separate management system (Dell KACE) to support the imaging, inventory, application deployment, and patching of Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2-3). From September 2011 to December 2012 (1 year 4 months) Systems Integration Sr. Advisor @ Focused primarily on the deployment and management aspects of the Windows Desktop operating system and the accompanying applications.
