My Name is Ian Vanhoof, and I am a jack of all trades when it comes to the IT field. I have 18 years of professional experience, and have been lucky enough to do many different things during that time. Much of the last 13 eleven years I have been working for Florida State College at Jacksonville.
While at Florida State College I have been...
A Computer and Network Technician -
A+ certified, Mac OSX 10.5 certified, Mac OSX Server 10.5 certified, Apple Certified Trainer. - I was in charge of maintaining all the computers at FSCJ's south campus for 3 years.
South happens to be FSCJ's largest campus, each instructor has a computer on their desk, and had 11 labs and classrooms to take care of. Worked on everything from PC's to Macintoshes old and new; to maintaining AV equipment for the classrooms.
While it has been a while since I have done that, I still maintain all the computers around me, and instructors still call me on a regular basis with computer questions. I have kept all of my tech certifications current.
Server Admin - Most of my experience is with MacOSX server and Unix servers of varying flavors. When it comes to Unix I prefer Debian, but have worked on and been admin on others like Solaris, AIX, and Red Hat Linux servers.
Webmaster - maintained and upgraded college wide web presence.
Director of Multimedia Technology - this is my current position, and has led to a nicely rounded skill set.This has all lead to a very diverse skill set which includes...
Web Site Production - HTML, xHTML, AJAX, PHP, JS/jQuery, CSS using text editors, full blown dev environments, and WYSIWYG editors.
Graphic Design - I have experience doing both print, web, and interface design using Quark, inDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I have recently been using Acorn as well for small scale stuff.
Multimedia Production - produced stand alone CBT (990 hours), Learning Objects, Full Courses, and embedded objects using Director ( lingo) and then Flash (actionscript). 3D modeling and animation - produced video presentations, learning objects, stand alone models using Maya, 3DS Max, Cinema4D, Director3D and Rhino.
Content Management Systems (CMS) - managed Stellent CMS for 3 years, and currently am using Joomla for freelance website productions.
Game Design Programming - This is my current project for FCCJ. I am using Unity3D to make learning objects that instructors can use in online classes. Right now it is a spatial design learning object, next it will be lighting and interior design.
Project Management both large and small scale - I am a hands on manager that routinely does projects by myself, and when needed I have had, based on the projects needs and timeline, to scale up to upwards of 50 people on a project.
