Rhiannon Ball

Systems Administrator, Network Engineer, and Entrepreneur in Portland, Oregon

I was born in a small town just outside Portland some time ago and has lived here ever since. I have over twenty years' experience in the IT industry, including a decade as a Systems Administrator or Network Engineer. I've held every position from Help Desk on up at local companies like Nike, Legacy Health System, Grant Thornton and HP.

I'm also an Entrepreneur, having owned small businesses over the years and am currently a co-founder of H3S, Inc., a cloud-based telephony / speech recognition platform. With H3S almost ready to launch and my job complete, I am again on the market looking for the right place to land. If you are founding a startup, I am especially interested in helping build your platform!

I love everything about Portland life and living in the Pacific Northwest. I like to travel and stay in hostels, meet new people, and try new things. My frequent road (or train) trips to Seattle, eastern Washington and all over Oregon and Washington are how I prefer to spend my downtime.

I love people and always look for the best in humanity, despite the mistakes we all make. Great and amazing things are happening all the time, you just need to stop, look around and appreciate what's around you.
