I am an IT Infrastructure veteran with 14 years of experience. I have had the privilege of watching the transformation that robust IT systems can bring to organisations of all sizes.Being a nuts and bolts kind of person , I strive to get a deep understanding of everything that I do. I am an avid reader and believe in applying what I learn in everything that I do. I thrive on complex problems and believe in simplicity and elegance as the cornerstones of effective solutions. I have helped design IT solutions of all sizes, ranging from small business that have under 10 computers to a social media platform whose core infrastructure runs across multiple servers in different locationsMy current area of interest is cloud computing and the intricacies of building solutions that are cost effective,flexible and can be scaled up (or down) depending on the needs of the moment. The cloud finally levels the playing field for small companies looking to take the fight to the big guys.Personally, I enjoy reading contemporary history (with an emphasis on the events and personalities connected to World War I and II ). I am a car and bike enthusiast and hope to learn how to look after them myself someday. I also have a great interest in vintage aircraft. Someday I will to fly one of these http://www.flymig.com/You can contact me at : sharath@cloud2scale.com
