Hi, my name is

Daniel Jones

Business Systems Analyst

I am a passionate Business Systems Analyst. I started out as a help desk employee in Dallas Texas, however, I quickly escalated my career, and now work full-time as a systems analyst. I pride myself on being a jack of all trades that can handle any problem given to me, no matter how obscure the software, hardware, programming language, or framework may be.

In 2024 I was offered a remote position for The Fikes Companies which is the parent company for Cefco. I work as a systems analyst, and frequently work in SQL, Powershell, and Windows Server.

After working at IT Yall, I decided to pivot into a more advanced role and ended up working at my Alma Mater who was looking for someone with my level of curiosity.

My job requirements include:

  • Designing, testing, and implementing solutions for server-side issues
  • Writing complex SQL queries to modify test and production tables
  • Ensuring the smooth running of back-end PHP web scripts, and fix bugs when they appear
  • Managing user permissions via Linux commands such as chmod
Help Desk - IT Yall

Upon graduating from LeTourneau University, I had the opportunity to work at IT Yall to get myself started in the industry. While my primary work was help-desk related, I built a C# application to automate our computer tune-up process that saved the company 15 minutes per end user.

Some of my accomplishments while working there include:

  • Lead developer of their proprietary PC tune-up software
