About

Over time, I've worked on, and suceeded, most every aspect of computing: - Databases, Data Warehouses, Data Analysis, and Migration at exabyte scales. - System Administration, Engineering and Management, from both System and Networking sides. - Software Development in too many languages to count, including Python, Perl, C/C++, Java - Modest internal projects up through some of the largest systems on the planet. - Project work vs Product work. - Capacity forecasting, testing, and allocating. - Project Leadership, including Technical Program Management. - Project and Product design, auditing, and development. - much much more. This wide array of experience gives me the ability to look at systems in a holistic manner. It also allows me properly interact with any and all of the specialists in the community. Having lead several teams to success, I look forward to continueing that, by forming a mentoring relationship with those around me.
