Systems Integrator [ Jun 1995 - Mar 1999 ]
At the time, Applied Materials was creating and commercializing the nanomanufacturing technology which enabled the production of semiconductor chips and flat panel displays. Their service products improved yield enhancement and increased nanomanufacturing productivity. Subsequently, Applied's expertise is also being used in solar photovoltaic (PV) panels that turn abundant sunlight into clean electricity.
Reporting into the IS & T department. During my tenure at Applied I started out in Applications support, dabbled in database administration and wound up managing an IS & T lab. which I set up to mimic Applied's client-server environment for the Global roll out of Lotus Notes across the company. Before the Lotus Notes implementation, Applied had seven disparate email products in operation. Things were..chaotic!
