SUMMARY:

My background extends to Linux (RHEL, SLES), Windows Server 2008 R2/2012, VMware ESXi 4.1-5.5/Vsphere, & storage (FC, FCoE, iSCSI). I’ve done extensive network configuration testing in a SAN environment using all three operating systems. My virtualization experience also extends to Hyper-V. At NetApp I performed manual & automation testing on their storage products using the proprietary internal operating system Data ONTAP. I have programming experience with Java (Eclipse), PERL, and Python. I would love the opportunity to take on more responsibility by working with new hardware & software. I’m a team player & enjoy helping others.
