Hi, my name is Rob Zwissler. I recently moved from Chicago to Portland to get closer to my family, the mountains and the ocean. I've been programming and working on computers for over two decades and am almost entirely self taught.

I've been working professionally with computers since the late 90s in a mix of corporate, dot-com and small business environments. My roles have included UNIX Administrator, UNIX Engineer, Programmer, Network Administrator, and Jack-of-All-Trades. I made the personal switch to Macs in 2005, however I do keep up to date on Windows & PC technology. In my off time I also enjoy photography, snowboarding, camping, SCUBA diving, traveling, spending time with my fiance Karen and my dog Hannah.

In the process of consulting, I strive to establish and maintain ongoing relationships with clients. I take pride in my diverse skillset, but I will acknowledge when something is outside of it. If I can't do something myself, I will help you find the right person who can.

My resume and references are available upon request. Rates are competitive.

Best regards,

Rob Zwissler
