Apolinar Ramon

A. Apolinar Ramon, better known as Apollo, has been a Network Systems Administrator for the FAU Broward Technology Services, Office of Information Technology since 2003. He is part of a team of experts that faculty and staff rely on to solve IT related issues and keep everything current and running smoothly.

Apollo started his career at FAU in July 1999 as a lab assistant while pursuing a bachelor’s degree at FAU in Management Information Systems. “I was offered a permanent position with FAU as a technician as a result of helping the director at the time to transfer data between drives,” said Ramon. “Over time my position has changed from server administration to working in conjunction with FAU telecommunications and networking departments.”

Ramon says that he decided to embrace technology as a career because “technology is ever changing, moving faster than other fields.”

Ramon, who lives in Sunrise, counts a surprise baby shower held for him and his then wife back in 2007 as one of his fondest memories. “My colleagues from Boca came down to participate. I was very touched that people thought about me.
