WORK EXPERIENCE
My name is Esther Maclure and I have been working in IT for over 25 years. At the start of my career, I gained valuable experience working within the Database and Web programming field and have worked as a Team Leader for a group of programmers developing both Visual Basic and Web front end databases.
I spent the last 18 years of my career focusing on IT support and Networking. I have experience of managing large computer networks and specialise in the Education sector. I have experience of setting up and managing Servers including Microsoft Windows NT to Windows Server 2003, Exchange Server 2003, ISA Server 2004 & SQL Server.
When I was a student, I decided that I wanted to learn how to build a computer and I built my first computer back in 1995. Since then I have supported, upgraded and fixed a number of different computers. I have experience of working with most Microsoft Windows operating systems such as Windows 7, 8 and most recently Windows 10 and 11.
In the last few years I have gained a huge amount of experience in supporting Tablet computers and smart phones - both Android and Apple.
EDUCATION
After leaving college I went on to University to study Computing and I gained a HND in Computing and a BSc Hons in Computing and Management.
Whilst working full time, I completed my Post Graduate Diploma in Computing for Commerce and Industry with the Open University and I have also attended numerous Microsoft Training Courses such as Microsoft Server 2003, Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Windows.
