25+ years of IT experience; 17+ years focused on automated discovery and dynamic modeling for CMS solutions. I started with QA and programming for the Intel Compiler team. Migrated into systems administration and datacenter management, then into writing tools for grid computing across remote heterogeneous lab environments. Entered consulting by working with technology to support discovery for ITIL disciplines, which flowed into project research and technical leadership on projects enabling IT Service Management.In 2005 I learned Mercury's MAM product on the first version released after the Appilog acquisition (version 2.4.1 - before acquisitions by HP and Micro Focus), and used it in a datacenter migration. After two more projects I transferred into HP's Customer Oriented Research and Development group, working worldwide with customers for the same product space (UCMDB and UD), enabling discovery and mapping from the technical, business, and process perspectives. Over the years I worked engagements with competitor CMS-based products and got an eye for the pros and cons of the main products.In 2017 I designed, architected, and led the development on a new CMS-based product (IT Discovery Machine). It was intended to bridge gaps experienced in the CMS discovery and modeling space, such as new software coverage with the ever-increasing pace of product release cycles. I later pushed it open-source as the Open Content Platform (opencontentplatform.org) to enable others to do the same.I'm always on the look-out for leadership positions in technical projects that need not just architectural perspectives, but also senior back-end development skills.
