"I have been working for FannieMae(FNMA) from the past 6years where I got a chance to learn about different OS platforms as well as underlying hardware architectures. Also, I have worked in a data center environment where I installed/built/configured physical machines. FNMA has around 15000-20000 hosts which comprise various OS versions and environments. I am flexible on my work schedule as I work sometimes on nights and weekends based on the maintenance window of production hosts."
