"A project in my last job that I'm proud of is a complete IT system upgrade with a major healthcare company. I oversaw the design, development, and implementation of a complete infrastructure upgrade, including the servers, storage, network, and user workstations. This project took over six months and had a budget of over two million dollars. When completed, we determined that the system was performing with greater efficiency and at almost twice the speed of the system we replaced. This resulted in production savings of twice the cost of the system upgrade in the first 12 months."
