This month's Mediabox Team Spotlight is Brian. Brian is the Sr. Systems Administrator and Software Developer at My Mediabox and has been with us since January of 2007.
He is responsible for designing, planning, and implementing all aspects of the computer and network infrastructure that runs the Mediabox sites. That is the IT (Information Technology) side of his work. His philosophy is to get the systems set up so they kind of take care of themselves, and that frees him up to improve other systems or develop new features that get added to the Mediabox sites.
Hometown: Milford, OH
Favorite thing about living in Ohio: The green hills around Cincinnati. The many wooded hills around the Ohio river valley make this a beautiful place to live, but they don’t hinder travel like mountains do. Visiting flat areas like Chicago, St. Louis, anywhere in Florida, Cleveland, Buffalo, et. al., or dry hilly areas, like Southern California, make me appreciate being surrounded by hills full of beautiful trees when I return home.
Bragging rights: Other than BASIC, which I learned in 5th grade, I am self-taught in every computer programming language I use to this date.
Favorite apps: CrashPlan backup software. http://crashplan.com Back up your own computers to each other, or to friends’ computers securely and reliably for free!!! Or pay a very low monthly or yearly fee and back up your files to the company’s servers online for extra peace of mind. It makes the IT guy in me very happy!
Where can we find you on the weekends: Anywhere with my wife. Even grocery shopping is a joy when we can do it together. With 4 kids, 1 in college, we always have something to do.
