Job Description

The Technology Coordinator will identify and replicate best practices in technical design and implementation to ensure continuous system improvement and effectiveness. The Coordinator serves as an expert on technology tools and techniques to provide support to CASAT staff. This monitors and troubleshoots hardware, software, and network systems.

In other words if it’s broke I fix it and if you need some new technology I buy it. Responsibilities also include wrangling our multiple servers and websites. I try and keep up on emerging technology since it changes so fast.

Years at CASAT/Positions Held

I started as the Assistant Technology Coordinator August 29, 2022

Work History

I have only worked a few places but have had top learn many very different skills. I started working for the family shop as a locksmith as long as I can remember. My responsibilities grew from sweeping the floor to managing the shop. In that time I pulled the shop from the pen and paper era to the computer age. After graduating from college I had the opportunity to teach english in Japan which I loved so much I decided to teach, here. While I was looking into continuing education I worked as a long term substitute in Science, working at a 1 to 1 school where each student had a laptop I became familiar with organizational computer systems and disillusioned with teaching. After COVID hit I briefly worked in distance education where I spent much of my time acting as tech support for many of the students and fellow teachers. I finally began work at CASAT in 2022 as the new Technology Coordinator.

Personal Bio

Even though I am in IT I actually have a history degree. I have always been interested in the history of stuff, especially technology. I love old technology and how it works and whenever I was given the opportunity this is what I studied. I could care less about a famous ruler or some old war but am endlessly fascinated by what people used to get work done. I am especially interested in the industrial revolution and the beginnings of the information age. On the weekends you might find me tinkering with an old black and white tv, rebuilding a 30 year old game system or playing a game on a modern system. I love games whether we are talking about classic board games, card games, or video games. I also love reading and once I find I get book, or series I find them almost impossible to put down.
