I am a Senior Solutions Engineer at Dell Technologies, where I have been helping customers and sales reps find the best solutions for their data center needs for over 8.5 years. My experience has primarily been in technical sales, pre-sales engineering, and working with small to massive enterprise businesses across various industries and sectors.A few examples of what I would be designing, quoting, or discussing solutions: Rack, tower, edge, modular/converged, Shared Storage, Expansion Storage arrays, Backup solutions for tape or disk-based, Networking specifically for data center connections (iSCSi 1Gb, 25Gb, 40Gb, 50Gb, 100Gb, 200GB, 400Gb, Fibre Channel 8,16,32,64, InfiniBand), and Datacenter Infrastructure using multiple options of vendors for Racks, PDUs, UPSs, KVMs, Power Cables, and Entry Liquid Cooling. I have a high aptitude in virtualization using VMWare and Microsoft, with a minor in Red Hat. Some areas I am versed in building, discussing, or architecting include all levels of Sizing, Building, and technically discussing with the sales team and/or customer vSphere, vCenter, vSAN, VMware Horizon, Microsoft bare metal, Hyper-V, Storage Spaces Direct, Azure Stack HCI, Microsoft VDI, HCI sizing and building, Virtualization, Databases, Disk and Tape backup, Hybrid Cloud and Private cloud solutions, HPC, Big Data, Machine Learning, and other GPGPU enhanced solutions, and AMD vs Intel discussions. I can easily communicate with any aged CEO, general executive, manager, floor employee, or other random person. I had the opportunity to be a New Hire Onboarding teacher for data center technical sales reps during COVID; during that time, we had classes each quarter with those from all walks of life (recent college graduates, Internal transfers within Dell, ex-military, those completely uneducated in computing hardware, and former wait staff or retail sales) My core competencies include data center solution architecture, pre-sales engineering, customer-facing roles, and educating them. I have an associate's degree in computer science with an emphasis on computer programming, which gives me an edge in understanding how data centers work and deep technical research. I am also passionate about mentoring, instructing, and coaching, as I have been an onboarding instructor and a mentor for new technical sales representatives at Dell Technologies. My mission is to deliver value, quality, and satisfaction to the sales reps and their customers, as well as my team, by providing them with reliable, scalable, and innovative datacenter solutions.
