If you need a solution for a high capacity web presence, with a latency reducing worldwide multi-region deployment where downtime is not an option... I'm that guy. Need a beautiful website.... I'm probably not that guy, but I might know a guy.

I have experience with managing computer and networking systems for over 20 years, architected our x86 strategy moving from a few large single point of failure (SPOF) big-iron servers (Sequent, IBM, SGI, Sun) to thousands of high powered low-cost x86 servers, removing SPOF's, improving uptime, while at the same time reducing capex outlays, and by using automation strategies were able to increase servers per admin by almost 500 fold.I represented AMD as a speaker at OracleWorld… Show more I have experience with managing computer and networking systems for over 20 years, architected our x86 strategy moving from a few large single point of failure (SPOF) big-iron servers (Sequent, IBM, SGI, Sun) to thousands of high powered low-cost x86 servers, removing SPOF's, improving uptime, while at the same time reducing capex outlays, and by using automation strategies were able to increase servers per admin by almost 500 fold.I represented AMD as a speaker at OracleWorld presenting our experience switching CPU architectures for our database.I am the final escalation guy in the support chain, I get the weird, wild problems without answers and it's my job to drive it to the end as there is nobody else to escalate it to.I have a wide knowledge base with experience in networking, servers, storage, virtualization, database systems, programming languages, and cloud technologies (whew that's a mouthful). My architecture role uses that wide knowledge to decide the vision of where we want to be and be a technical decider in how we get there.I am a bridge between the different divisions, i.e. when the Oracle database staff say is a problem, I could translate that to the network staff that in your world it means . This part of my role, really allowed me to work across historically adversarial groups as I had earned the respect of all parties. This bridge allowed IT to understand what the developers, DBA, etc actually neededMy main technology focus has been storage, managing and determining purchasing solutions for a multi-petabyte environment. Deep technical knowledge of systems arrays, queue management, pushing performance, resolving random latency problems. We did more than most with less, pushing arrays both at capacity and performance and staffing. With only 3x people we managed multi-petabyte systems spread around the world in different countries, both NAS & SAN, multiple different vendors, with replication between sites for DR and QA Show less
