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.
