A company just asked for a brief statement of qualifications for a project with disaster recovery planning and a new off-prem backup system. I don't spend a lot of time creating slick marketing pieces. I answer the questions. This is what I sent:

Thank you so much for inquiring about my services for Disaster Recovery planning and off-premise data backup system design. You asked for a brief summary of my experience and qualifications for the project.

• Formerly I was the Technical Director of two companies where I designed and built nationwide (USA) satellite-controlled communications systems. One of those companies had over 50,000 subscribers, and the other company had just under 100,000 subscribers. I designed, built, and managed the system with redundancy to achieve “five 9s” reliability, which means no more than about 5 minutes of downtime per year.
• Next, I was Director of National System Development for Cellular One, where we also had a demonstrated interest in maintaining reliable systems in adverse weather conditions with minimal downtime, and no loss of data.
• I taught cellular systems, information technology, and cybersecurity classes at three colleges for a total of 17 years.
• I still teach cybersecurity and information technology under private contract with public utilities. For example, most recently I taught a cybersecurity class to the engineers at <company name redacted>. This July, I’ll be teaching a week-long class in Windows Server Management.
• I have helped companies develop their Disaster Recovery and Incident Response plans in accordance with US laws in various industries, including construction companies and accounting firms.

Thank you again for your inquiry.
