Information Technology

Professionally, I've worked in the field of information technology for over 30 years and have (mostly) enjoyed it. I am currently the IT Director in Brooklyn, NY, for Independent Living Association and consider this to be my favorite position so far. I was given the opportunity to come in, take over the infrastructure, and to manage things in the manner that I believe is appropriate. It is very gratifying to know that I can contribute directly to our company's success, and can be also quite humbling when things go awry. Such is the path of progress.

In my spare time, I provide IT Professional consultation for home or small office, if interested please contact me at steven@bonici.us.
