About Benjamin Atkinson

Title: Network Administrator / Network Analyst One of the things that I enjoy about working as an IT Network Administrator is because the work is logical. When everything is going smoothly, it means that the network is configured correctly and security is where it should be. When things do go slightly awry, there’s a logical fix to the problem. One of the other things I enjoy about this work is that it never gets dull. There is always new technology coming out, upgrades to make, patches that are being released, security updates to input, cyber security threats to mitigate, and routine maintenance to perform to ensure a smoothly functioning organization. In July 2014, I was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army and I am actively seeking civilian employment in the Kansas City, Kansas Metropolitan area.
