I am a well-rounded Engineering Executive with 35+ years of experience. I specialize in large scale infrastructure design and implementation with a recent focus in the following technology disciplines:- Software Defined Infrastructure - Hybrid & Public Cloud- Infrastructure as Code- Technology Strategy, Evaluations and Cost Analysis- Configuration Management- Private Cloud- Data Center Consolidation- Process/Workflow Automation- Large Scale x86 Server Virtualization- Physical and Logical Networking- Network-based Storage Solutions (NAS & SAN) - x86 Blade Server implementation (Cisco UCS)Current Projects:- Infrastructure as Code- Azure & AWS Hybrid Cloud- Hyperconverged Virtualization - Server Build Automation/Orchestration- Hadoop Server InfrastructureMy Design Philosophy:I believe a good architect needs to have strong knowledge in all aspects of technology to create successful enterprise designs. Server, network, storage, performance, high availability, disaster recovery, backup/recovery, workload management, load balancing, I/O profiling, hardware, and application capabilities/design are all technology areas that need to be considered. A good reliable design provides good measured service to the end user, while striking a balance with the project costs and constraints.I have been a technical project design engineer on many critical enterprise projects. My approach to design is unique and inclusive of all necessary technology areas. I lead visual design sessions with teams of engineers in order to collectively create the design. My approach is effective and leads to successful technical implementations.Other areas of expertise: - Technical Presentations to Senior Management and Peers - Large scale Merger and Acquisition - Design & Integration - New technology research and Proof of Concept- Gap analysis and solutions- Systems integration and infrastructure design for enterprise applications- Server virtualization and infrastructure consolidation
