Objective
To advance my career as a UNIX Systems Administrator. With 7 years
as a contractor and 8 years as a full timer, I've gathered a variety of IT
experience in areas of storage, servers, virtualization, reporting, and
working closely with application owners to ensure successful roll-outs.
My most recent work involves heavy involvement with the VMware
platform (ESX, vSphere, Lab Manager), Redhat and Ubuntu Linux, and NetApp
NFS storage. I am looking forward to learning the latest technologies,
implementing modern IT patterns, and sharing my experience and ideas
in a team environment.
