SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS:

Seasoned IT Engineer and Systems Architect with 15 years of industry experience in Virtualized Windows,

Unix environments. I am trained in; Windows NT, 2000, 2003, 2008 Server, Active Directory, Linux, Sun Solaris, AIX,

System-P, and P series, Z OS, Systems Security, Exchange Server, NetApp, Hitachi, EMC SAN Storage, VMware

ESX( i ) , Hyper -V, Xen, KVM and other Cloud So lut i ons. I have 12 years of enterprise level engineering,

architecture, datacenter and large scale systems experience. This vast array of consulting projects has been a profound

synergistic influence on my IT career.

In addition to my technical background, I am highly customer focused with over 10 years of highly visible

customer facing projects. Having interfaced with every level of technical and executive management, I am extremely

comfortable discussing high level strategy and implementations, in laymen’s terms when necessary. The ability to show

the "value add" of products at both a technical and financial level allows me close deals and open doors for potential

revenue drag.
