I started working here as a student in 1996 and moved into a full time position in 2000. We have an extremely heterogeneous and diverse IT infrastructure that is always interesting and sometimes challenging to work in. Having to sometimes work with limited funding means that we end up coming up with innovative and clever solutions to problems.
