About
I've worked with enterprise hardware and software for 28 years. I've scripted the installation and configurations of operating systems and software. I've worked with third party software vendors, authored best practices and reference architectures. I've been an SME on datacenter design, hardware and software. I've designed and deployed datacenter networks including hardware selection, procurement, deployment, and maintenance. My experience spans the entire datacenter, it allows me to see the big picture, potential issues and what impacts need to be addressed.
