IT Leader and System Architect. My bliss is team leadership - leading highly technical individuals to learn & innovate with new technology to solve complex problems. A lifelong learner, I enjoy operating systems, hardware, virtualization, and storage systems. I use my abilities as a communicator to reach diverse audiences and technical levels. I work well in major projects, managing budgets & procurement. My in-depth technical background in dev-ops/systems engineering and database administration at top-tier research universities provides a strong foundation for solving architectural challenges.
