SUMMARY I have a broad exposure to datacenter environments and people from many different teams and backgrounds in a number of different industries. I have worked hands-on with a broad range of enterprise software and hardware technologies and programming languages, and I understand the challenges that come with their integration. I enjoy working with a team of professionals that understand and respect each other’s skills and perspectives on life.
