At Berliner Photography, I served as Director of Information Technology in a fast-moving, cross-platform environment. Event and assignment photographs had to move from photographers to local editors, captioning teams, agents, and publications on demanding schedules.
Supporting the complete image path
My responsibility was broader than maintaining individual computers. I supported the connected path that let people receive, process, organize, and distribute images, while balancing reliability with the changing tools used by photographers and editors.
The role included servers, workstations, storage, communications, software evaluation, scripting, remote offices, and support. This rewrite intentionally removes the source article's obsolete inventory of specific firewalls, operating-system versions, access services, and network topology.
The experience strengthened a principle I still use: the most valuable infrastructure is the part that helps creative work move safely and predictably from one person to the next.
