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 pivoted into systems analyses. 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.

About Me

I am a systems analyst with three years of IT experience. My specialty is in Linux, networking, python scripting, and cloud technology.

I am currently researching AI and machine learning because I feel that this is the next evolution in the field of Information Technology.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • Linux
  • Bash
  • Python
  • AWS
  • Javascript
  • Docker

Experience

Systems Support Analyst - LeTourneau University
Dec 2021 - present

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
Feb 2021 - October 2021

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
  • Set up wired networks for end-user locations
  • Wrote batch scripts to automate repeatable work such as the new computer onboarding process
Cashier - Home Depot
May 2016 - January 2021

After working at Brookshire’s, I moved on to work at the Home Depot in Paris Texas because it was closer to Paris Junior College, where I was attending business classes. After graduating at PJC in May 2017, I transferred to the location in Longview Texas so that I could financially support myself while attending LeTourneau University. While here my responsibilities included:

  • Recieving payments for transactions
  • Lifting heavy objects into vehicles if no lot loader was available
  • Meeting the credit card sale quota weekly
Courtesy Clerk - Brookshires Grocery Company
November 2013 - May 2016

In 2013 I was a teenager looking for a job. I wasn’t attending college at the time, so any job within driving distance of home worked for me. I started at Brookshire’s in November 2013 during the Thanksgiving rush. My job responsibilities included:

  • Taking groceries to outside vehicles
  • Cleaning messes and spills to prevent slips and falls
  • Maintaining front end orderliness After a few months of being a courtesy clerk, I got promoted to a Cashier.
