Information technology, information security and the medical field fascinate me and have been the focus of my professional career. My particular strengths include an ability to visualize systems end-to-end and combine that with a thorough understanding of industry best practices and information security standards. I love designing and deploying solutions and make people’s lives easier in the process. Technology should improve quality of life and quality of products. When it is implemented with poor attention to detail or security, it does neither and provides an unnecessary attack surface. My mission is to improve workflows, facilitate access and generally keep it user focused while maintaining confidentiality, integrity and availability.When I’m not working, I love being outside with my wife and our two dogs. Running, swimming, cycling and lifting weights are wonderful ways to relax and get my body and mind in sync again. I’m obsessed about research in many areas, with current emphasis on nutrition, performance and disease prevention. As a result, my diet changes periodically as do my workouts. Perpetual improvement is important to me.Professional specialties include:Virtualization/Cloud: VMware ESXi, Amazon AWS, Oracle VirtualBox, XenApp, OVirtOperating systems: Microsoft Windows Server 2000 - 2016, Microsoft Windows 2000 - 10, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOSNetworking: Cisco, Dell, Ubiquiti, D-Link, Xirrus, VoIP: ShoreTel, Digium, Asterisk, SkypeAuditing/Monitoring: Netwrix, SysCloud, SpiceWorks, Google MDM, TeamViewer, Turbonomics, VMTurboEncryption/Security: ESET, Sophos, Virtru, Zix, TrueCrypt, VeraCrypt, Bitlocker, JeticoBackup/DR: Quest Rapid Recovery, AppAssure, Veeam, SyncBackStorage: EqualLogic, Compellent, PowerVault, Synology, generally: SAN, NAS, iSCSI, FCITSM: ITIL, COBITInformation security standards, regulatory frameworks: HIPAA, HITECH, PCI-DSS, NISTOther: Risk analysis, risk assessment
