James R. Atherton
North Penn Legal Services Systems Administrator
Pittston, Pennsylvania
I am currently the Systems Administrator for North Penn Legal Services. I have worked in Network and PC infrastructure for over 25 years. I started in computer based Point-Of-Sale, proceeded through trial and error and some classes to rise through the years of network infrastructure updates. Learning application development has allowed me to design more efficient ways to handle tech situations using the “work smarter not harder” mantra. I moved to a consulting firm in 2011 where I worked with all manner of networks, servers, and systems. Since coming on board with NPLS in 2014. I have moved our network to a Terminal Server environment, re-imagined backup and support solutions, and redesigned our entire network infrastructure. I regularly write software in Visual Studio 2017 and 2019, Microsoft PowerApps, and Microsoft Flow using these resources to simplify management translating to a more responsive, less reactive environment.
