Implemented a Juniper QFX EVPN over vxlan fabric paired with Juniper MX routers for building a spanning-tree free core datacenter network topology to support Active/Active Layer2+Layer3 traffic and provided ip gateway redundancy via anycasted gateways with EVPN using esi multi-homing.HP FlexFabric / Virtual-Connect converged network topology utilizing Shortest Path Bridging (802.1aq) in a dual redundant ring topology uplinked to Juniper QFX5100 EVPN fabric allowing for Active/Active Layer2 switching. Designed to support multiple private clouds on shared infrastructure following multi-tenant principles of isolation.Heavy experience in HP Blade Chassis (c7000), Blade Switches, and converged infrastructure designs to combine compute, networking, and storage. Experience in integrating vSphere, Hyper-V, and Linux KVM on top of such environments.Built and managed a MPLS L3VPN network topology alongside EVPN/VXLAN to provide both L2 and L3 services securely in a multi-tenant environment. Managed a cloud based ddos scrubbing strategy via GRE tunnels and BGP for on-demand traffic hijacking. Solid understanding of sflow/ipfix and BGP flowspec for threat detection and mitigation.Experienced in vSphere6.x HA deployments and PowerCLI scripting. Implemented vSphere AutoDeploy to allow for automated esxi host deployments.Experienced in Single-mode & Multi-Mode fiber deployments, fusion splicing, testing and associated SFP/SFP+/XFP/QSFP+ connectors, DS3, T1, 10/100/1000 Ethernet.I have a heavy background in Linux/Unix administration and Open Source Software. Troubleshooting complex problems in Linux using debug tools gets my attention quickly. Got a critical Linux server that won't boot? Let's rescue it. Need to create and implement a backup plan for mission critical services? Done.

Helped managed day to day operations of the IT for the campus. Also participated in the process of converting the campus from paper solutions to a full digital solution.

Helped to maintain a fairly large peach orchard and blackberry patch. From thinning immature peaches to harvesting sun ripened peaches and blackberries.
