- My first in depth exposure to AI technologies allowed me to demonstrate how fast I can come up to speed- The role was extremely varied – typical for a startup and also my own ethos___ Management consultant to the senior leadership team___ Studying vertical market needs in depth___ Determining and leading the company development and marketing strategy in each vertical___ Detailed understanding of our product, the markets and current technologies___ Writing high level problem statements and leading design proposals and strategy across all departments___ Recommending how to organize the company to achieve our goals and leadership___ Managing and architecting partner and customer solutions and strategy___ Managing several key developments in the US and abroad

Palo Alto, Ca, Us

- My role in VMware was to bring knowledge of storage hardware to a software centric vSAN team.- Required in depth understanding of the storage hardware and protocols as well as VMware software ESXi/vSAN___ Architecting how to marry new HW to VMware___ Leading change adoption___ Understanding roadmaps from partners such as AMD, Intel, Dell, HPE and VMware___ Defining NVMe and NVMe-OF support for vSAN and qualification of partners___ Working with OEMs to define use cases for HCI vs disaggregated systems in an SDS world___ Deep understanding of SES, IPMI, SAS, SCSI, NVMe, SATA and some PCIe___ Defining and owning the vSAN certification policies and keeping them updated___ Specifying certification suite changes___ Leading problem solving with vendor equipment – acting as highest problem escalation level for the worst and most complex problems across silos___ Working from the bit/byte level of specifications to high level planning and roadmap interlock- In this role I won a rare ‘Innovation Champion’ award.

Fremont, Ca, Us

- Asked to fulfil a wide ranging rile with skills that were both managerial and technical expertise such as:___ Organizational leadership skills___ Customer facing skills___ Able to present ideas and listen to C-suite executives, and anticipate their requirements___ Strong problem-solving abilities___ Cross functional coordination abilities___ Vendor management skills___ Project management abilities.- I took on leadership for piloting some of our tougher projects into our biggest tier 1 customers.___ Consistently earned me the top mark in my bi-annual appraisals for years___ peer nominated 3 times in the last year alone for 'unsung hero' awards in Seagate - winning once (maxtimes allowed).- The work involved heavy knowledge of our HCI server platforms and now components such as BMC, BIOS and storage all come together, looking for problem areas and helping solve them.

Havant, Hampshire, Gb

- I was promoted to this role and took on managing many teams and projects from 1-10 person per project.___ Had a large combined team of up to 30 people working for me across in 7 nations across the globe___ Maintained my previous roles as architect and lead developer primarily helping with trouble shooting.___ I had control of both test and development teams___ I spent a lot of time with customers analyzing problems, discussing status and plans and futures- I moved to the US to lead of embedded enclosure & server firmware to our biggest customers___ Very high focus role with a combination of managerial, personal, and presentation skills___ Needed Detailed technical skills and a need for excellent problem-solving abilities.___ Ran and designed BIOS/BMC architecture and development teams for Xyratex server platforms___ Led contract negotiation of the Xyratex BMC and defined its specification___ Required knowledge of protocols such as SCSI, SAS and SATA.

Havant, Hampshire, Gb

I was involved in the design and debug of all of Xyratex’s JBOD and SBOD products requiring good Fibre channel analysis skills and detailed SCSI knowledge. Part of the role included fixing the previously ‘amateur’ processes in a fairly new group to make it more professional and quality oriented.

Havant, Hampshire, Gb

This work required using Delphi and C++ to produce GUI interfaces to Xyratex protocol analyzer hardware for both iSCSI and primarily Fibre Channel. My role covered most of the protocol interpretation and data display in the small GUI team. During this time I developed good Fibre channel knowledge which I still use.

Middlesex, Gb

This role involved porting a large OS/2 and Unix airline ticketing database system to run against a mixture of Unix and Windows NT. It was mainly C++ with SQL and required detailed development skills on all three platforms.

This role had two parts. I spent the first year developing a database query user interface for OS/2 for IBM to become part of the standard DB/2 offering using C and SQL. This included writing a SQL parser and designing the GUI. I then moved to working with Xyratex on their Fibre Channel test adapter GUI acting as lead developer and designer in C and Delphi for Windows and OS/2. We produced Fibre Channel test suites plus a SCSI and Fibre channel compliance suite which I helped design and build.

This was a research project by a Dutch company for a Dutch bank into new object oriented ways of development primarily investigating completely uncoupled data, self defining message streams and self loading object user interfaces. It was fascinating and has paved the way for me to write better object oriented code ever since.

Working in a variety of languages (such as SQL, C, REXX, ESE, Smalltalk) and on both PCs and main frames we developed a number of expert systems for IBM and a number of other software suites for customers for tasks such as supermarket supply management, warehouse management, mainframe sales bid support, project risk analysis, project estimation and tracking and others. We were one of the first groups in IBM to adopt C++ and Smalltalk.

This was spent developing tests for operating system APIs and then moving onto operating system implementation for the GUI side of OS/2. Starting off writing internals for an operating system is a great career start and shapes your approach to many problems as the issues with this work are similar to firmware development.
