I have been in the IT field for over 15 years with 5 of those years in Enterprise level networking. In that time I have been fortunate to work for some of the largest and most comprehensive network environments in the world. My tenure supporting Fox entertainment group opened my eyes to a vast global network in which bandwidth and reliability was king. As a single point of contact for worldwide network issues. I was able to learn the value that simplicity and preparation play in a successful high traffic and demanding environment. Prior to GoDaddy I had only read about the physical layer in Cisco books and practice exam exams. I was quicky introduced into the extremely sensitive and volatile world of physical hardware and infrastructure support. Where MTTR and attention to detail reign supreme. Where the smallest error can impact thousands of customers and cost millions of dollars. I learned very quickly that with the right training, speed and efficiency do not have to be mutually exclusiveI am now embarking on a new and exciting frontier with Oracle and their ground breaking Baremetal Cloud Infastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering. I'm extremely grateful for an opportunity to take my physical layer education to the next level and help build and maintain cutting edge cloud technology.
