I'm a member of the Software Defined Infrastructure team. As an Engagement Architect I have pre-sales, post-sales, and team development job responsibilities within the scope of technologies I'm aligned to (including Cisco ACI, Cisco CloudCenter (formerly CliQr), VMware NSX). I'm responsible for bringing pre-sales opportunities and high-level designs across the line and converting them into successful delivery projects. At Trace3 this involves working with dedicated pre-sales resources in collecting requirements and proposing solutions (BOM, SOW, LOE) so that I'm not a new face to the customer when the deal closes. I then remain with the project by assembling a team of dedicated post-sales engineers (SMEs) and actively participating in solution delivery (low level design, implementation, configuration, validation, and hand off to customer operations).Recent Training (Q4/16 - Q4/17):* Cisco Data Center Application Centric Infrastructure v2.0* Cisco/ CliQr Cloud Center Partner training* Cisco UCS Director Foundation v5.0* Designing and Deploying Cisco UCS Director with ACI (UCSDACI) v5.4* Chef Fundamentals - A Recipe for Automating Infrastructure* VMware NSX: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.2]* Docker Cookbook (self study)* Learn Linux in 5 Days (Udemy - self study)* Linux Basics & Bash Scripting (Udemy - self study)

Trace3 is a small Systems Integration firm headquartered in Irvine, CA. Trace3 experienced growth of 314% between 2005-2008 and the expansion continues. We discover, define, design, deploy, document, and support strategic business solutions in several technology domains including Storage, Networking, Virtualization, and Backup/Archiving. Trace3 is partnered with a majority of the biggest players in these domains including Cisco, Juniper, F5, Palo Alto Networks, Riverbed, VMware, NetApp, Brocade, 3PAR, DataDomain, Symantec, Commvault, Quantum, Microsoft and RedHat. They maintain high ranking distinctions amongst several of those partners, such as #1 Partner Nationwide (Riverbed). While many companies have historically operated within a single technology domain and are now educating themselves in other domains to distinguish themselves against their competition and stay in business, Trace3 is ahead of the pack already having established a solid reputation for having the raw technical talent and breadth of experience to handle the much larger scope of challenges facing customers today.I'm totally stoked to work here. The people are great, the atmosphere is relaxed and fun with a focus on results, and the culture instills a feeling of family. Everyone pushes themselves to new levels of excellence, achievements are recognized, and there are unrivaled opportunities to learn and expand your expertise.
