I’m a Pre-Sales / Solution Architect with 6+ years of experience in enterprise data center infrastructure and mission-critical environments. I started my career in engineering and field commissioning (telemetry / remote data transmission systems) and later moved into enterprise pre-sales, where I combine technical depth with structured discovery, validation and solution design. I work closely with stakeholders to clarify requirements, translate constraints into architecture decisions, and prepare practical deliverables — HLD, sizing, BoQ and PoC plans, so delivery teams can implement and operate the solution reliably. I’m known for being structured, transparent about trade-offs and consistent in execution, especially when reliability and recoverability are critical. What I work with • Data Center Infrastructure: servers, storage, datacenter network (SAN, Ethernet) • Virtualization & HCI (VMware / Nutanix / Red Hat ecosystems) • DR/BC design: multi-site architectures, RTO/RPO planning, failover strategy • Data protection / backup and operational reliability • Pre-sales lifecycle: discovery, requirements, HLD, sizing, BoQ, PoC planning, stakeholder alignment How I help companies • Reduce risk: validate assumptions early (PoC, sizing, constraints), design for fault tolerance and recoverability • Optimize cost: build realistic TCO/ROI models, licensing and architecture trade-offs, avoid overprovisioning • Accelerate decisions: convert technical options into an executive-ready narrative (value, risk, timeline) • Increase win rate: structure proposals, scope, and technical positioning for enterprise stakeholders • Enable delivery: ensure handover is actionable—clear architecture, responsibilities, and rollout plan What you can expect from working with me • Structured communication and accountability (no “slide-only” architecture) • Transparency about limitations, risks, and trade-offs • Practical engineering mindset: solutions that teams can implement and operate • Strong collaboration with sales, delivery, and customer technical teams If your company is planning a Data Center refresh, HCI/virtualization modernization, or a DR/BCP initiative and you need a trusted architect who can align business and engineering — let’s connect.
• Led end-to-end pre-sales cycles for enterprise infrastructure projects ranging from $100K to $1.5M+, covering discovery, architecture design, sizing, vendor validation, pricing strategy and contract closure. • Designed business-critical and mission-critical infrastructures (6–24 servers per project) for virtualization, databases, storage and DR, ensuring zero-downtime operation and defined RTO/RPO targets. • Architected multi-site DR solutions, integrating VMware SRM, Dell RP4VM, storage-level replication and network segmentation into DR strategy. • Delivered a large-scale banking DR solution for a nationwide bank (~1,700 employees, 18 regions), covering 3 sites (2 on-prem + 1 cloud), ~800 VMs and ~60 servers, enabling site-level failover and point-in-time recovery throughout the day. • Built long-term data storage architectures for government customers, covering digitized documents, video and audio archives with strict separation of public/private segments in line with national regulatory requirements. • Led VMware licensing optimization initiatives after Broadcom acquisition by assessing existing estates and redesigning server fleets, achieving CAPEX payback within 2 years and up to 45% licensing OPEX reduction from year three onward. • Designed and sold backup and data protection platforms ($150K–$1M) including backup software, dedicated appliances, disk repositories, tape libraries, air-gapped architectures and immutable backup strategies for regulated industries. • Owned PoC execution for complex solutions by coordinating vendors, engineers and a customer, defining test scenarios, validating results and converting successful trials into production deployments. • Acted as a trusted technical advisor for customers, producing HLDs, BoQs, TCO/ROI models and multi-year infrastructure roadmaps used for executive budget approvals.
Junior-to-mid level pre-sales specialist supporting server and data center solution design for enterprise, SMB, banking and publicsector customers. Focused on technical sizing, configuration and tender documentation under guidance of senior architects while gradually expanding exposure to TCO modeling and vendor ecosystems. • Supported pre-sales activities for server and data center projects across banking, enterprise, SMB and government customers, primarily focusing on solution sizing, configuration and technical validation. • Designed and sized hardware-centric solutions including rack and blade servers, HCI platforms and external storage systems, with a strong focus on Dell PowerEdge, Unity, SC, ME, Data Domain and VxRail portfolios. • Participated in requirements discovery by supporting senior architects, clarifying performance, availability, scalability and budget constraints and translating them into technical configurations. • Prepared technical artifacts including HLDs, Bills of Quantities (BoQs), technical specifications, tender documentation and solution descriptions (PowerPoint / PDF with diagrams). • Assisted with TCO calculations by validating cost assumptions and models together with senior team members. • Contributed to tender processes by drafting technical responses, completing compliance matrices and supporting formal submissions for public and enterprise procurement. • Evaluated architectural trade-offs such as rack vs blade server designs and HCI vs traditional SAN-based architectures, providing comparative data to support decision-making. • Supported pricing and competitive analysis by configuring alternative vendor solutions and comparing costs. • Played a key role in a 4-month infrastructure audit for one of Ukraine’s largest media holdings, consolidating asset inventories, analyzing architectural gaps, preparing executive-level reports and presenting a multi-year IT modernization strategy.
Entry-level infrastructure engineer in the IBM department of a large IT distributor, providing internal pre-sales and technical support for system integrators working with IBM server, storage and network solutions. Focused on configuration, sizing, compatibility validation and demo infrastructure preparation. • Analyzed technical requirements and prepared IBM hardware specifications for partner tenders and RFPs. • Designed and configured IBM Power servers, FlashSystem storage, TS tape libraries and SAN networking solutions. • Built BoMs in IBM e-configurator and validated compatibility via IBM Family and interoperability matrices. • Performed storage sizing in Storage Modeller and Disk Magic, modeling IOPS, latency, throughput and capacity. • Modeled storage workloads for virtualization and database systems based on read/write ratios and block sizes. • Supported senior pre-sales engineers with validated configurations and sizing for partner proposals. • Participated in preparation of demo environments, including initial setup of FlashSystem storage (“to green lights”), hardware delivery, rack-and-stack and SAN connectivity. • Gained hands-on exposure to troubleshooting scenarios during demo setup and testing under supervision of senior engineers. • Built foundational expertise in enterprise infrastructure, covering servers, storage architectures, SAN networking, vendor tools.
Project: Remote data transmission system (telemetry) for customers’ gas metering points. • Tested telemetry data transmission units and ensured successful commissioning into production. • Coordinated field installation of telemetry units and managed their subsequent registration in the EGEON data collection system. • Administered the remote data transmission platform (EGEON) under an administrator account: device setup, registration, and operational control. • Prepared, packaged, and maintained records of working design/project documentation for metering points to be equipped with telemetry. • Analyzed installation statistics and rollout progress for telemetry units to track deployment status and identify issues. Tools/Systems: EGEON (admin operations), telemetry data transmission units, data collection platform.
