During my tenure at Experian, I have consistently been given roles of increasing global responsibility. Currently, I lead a global team responsible for the design, implementation, and operation of Experian’s collaboration and desktop infrastructure. This includes the successful deployment of a standardized platform based upon Microsoft technologies such as SharePoint 2010, Exchange Server 2010, SQL Server, Active Directory, and Office Communications Server. This infrastructure provides services for a global community of over 15,000 users in over 30 countries.Other responsibilities have included the operational and financial management of Experian’s mission critical electronic commerce Internet environment comprised of Sun and x86 hardware, BEA Weblogic and JBoss software. Responsibilities included system integration, production operational readiness certification, and post-implementation support of this revenue generating environment.I have also managed our entire North American Microsoft Windows production environment – both infrastructure and revenue generating - including the support and management of over 1,000 servers and 15,000 Windows workstations. This included the design and deployment of Microsoft Operations Manager, HP System Insight Manager, Microsoft SCCM management platforms as well as integration into our data center management platform.

I served as a key technical lead (architect, developer, manager) for key components of Experian’s online credit reporting system, File One. In this role, I managed software development staff for critical, high volume software components. Key to the success of this project was my ability to mentored several inexperienced developers as well as motivate and challenge senior developers to deliver world-class code focused on API’s, exception handling, instrumentation, performance tuning, and extensibility.
