So now about me. This is Michael Harper and I'm currently a student at Savannah Technical College where I'm working on my Cisco certifications and my Networking Specialist degree. After I obtain my two-year I'm transferring to Armstrong Atlantic State University for my bachelors in computer science. Outside of school I'm preparing for my Network+ exam within the month and my A+ exam next month. I'm currently working as an IT technician at Portside Cargo Services, Inc. in Garden City, GA where I do web and database design. On the side, I work as an IT consultant and web designer for various companies in an attempt to pay for my schooling. I was born in Savannah, GA and have enjoyed working with computers since I was young lad. I was fortunate enough to have a sister and other relatives who introduced me to computers at a young age and continued to teach me as I grew older. I did small-time computer repair when I was in highschool and even had the opportunity to teach two computers courses there before I graduated. After highschool I jumped into digital recording for myself and other musicians. It was an enjoyable opportunity to collaborate creatively with other artists and musicians. At some point on my travels I met a friend who was working at a print shop Forsyth, GA and decided to take a job with him doing digital layout and design. It was there that I began designing databases for statiscal and printing purposes and automated many of the tideous typsetting jobs involved with printing. After a year of working at the printshop, I was introduced to the Chief of the Georgia Fire Academy who mentioned that he was looking for was someone to implement an inventory database for his training facility. That's how I was introduced to firefighting. I worked at the training facility doing database administration and firefighting. Strange combination but it worked for what it was. After the Chief who introduced me to firefighting left, I moved back to Savannah and took on the job as IT technician with PCS, Inc. where I am now. I'm currently looking for anyone in the Savannah or surrounding area who is looking to collaborate on projects together, maybe even put together an IT association for the benefit of learning.
