Sr. Systems Administrator · nLIGHT
I’m Chad, a Loveland-based systems engineer with datacenter, enterprise and local-business IT experience. At Front Range Internet Inc., I was a lead engineer through a company purchase, then took on sole systems-engineering responsibility for about a year, handling NOC escalations. For Excell, I rebuilt server and network infrastructure and connected a satellite location with VPN, Windows Server and Active Directory. I bring that practical ownership to nLIGHT’s Longmont team.

Hi nLIGHT team,
What connects me to this role is hands-on systems work and being the person people trust when something goes wrong. I was a lead engineer at FRII through a company purchase. After the senior engineer above me was let go, I became the sole systems engineer for about a year, on call for issues our NOC couldn’t resolve.
For Excell, I rebuilt servers and networking and connected a satellite location with VPN, Windows Server and Active Directory. That’s what I’d bring to your Longmont team: someone who can work through an escalation, own the infrastructure behind it and leave the next person a clearer path.
I’m in Loveland. Let’s talk.
Chad
