Russell Clark is a Senior Systems Engineer at salesforce.com. He possess expertise in storage area networks, data center, san, disaster recovery, system administration and 23 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I managed Rus while he was working within the first party Decommission & Repurpose program at Salesforce. When I joined the team, Rus was the most tenured member of the team and had seen it grow from inception with no defined process to a runbook-based operational workflow supplemented by shell scripts and tools written in GoLang. Informed by lessons learned from execution of the early processes, Rus' systems engineering expertise and his institutional knowledge of failure modes and corner cases shaped the creation of new, consolidated Python-based automation to address the ever-increasing scale of decommission work requested by our stakeholders. As part of this work, Rus ensured that we were able to sunset our legacy scripts and GoLang code and thus focus all of our efforts on a single code base, greatly increasing the pace at which we could deliver new features and onboard new engineers to the team's processes and code base. As a senior member of the team, Rus led the team to work smarter, not harder, and brought a seasoned and grounded perspective to team discussions. Rus' week-over-week contributions included operational triage, toil-reducing bug fixes, new feature development and business process refinement as part of Rus' (and the team's) transition to a DevOps mindset. I highly recommend Rus for a role where he has opportunities to stretch his skill set while using his systems engineering and DevOps experience to build automated infrastructure at scale." and "Russell is a committed, well trained professional who can work in demanding projects and can always rely on. He has built a strong (and deserved) reputation as someone with vision, diligence and honor – someone who gets things done! He is a valuable asset for any company!"
