Designed and deployed several projects including Virtual desktop infrastructure environment for 20K seats which successfully went from prototype directly into production.

Developed, produced and deployed a remote access environment which allowed users to access virtual images, physical desktops, and desktop applications from the internet and or edge locations unknown to myself and or teammates.

Supported the design and testing team of an internal investment project intended to add on to as storage filer, which performed compression of virtual images within a filer system, its use case was to create higher density on a storage filer, which the storage filer could not perform on its own. While virtual images met the compression rate, the project did not go forward due to performance issues for the end user which occurred in through-put of iops, the iops where required to meet the compression rate. While the project failed, its purpose was to reduce the overall capital expenditure cost of a prototype virtual environment by one third capex.

Evaluated another prototype of a virtual environment provisioning server which delivered images from a remote server within a lab datacenter targeting desktop hardware. After review the project was shut down due to various security concerns both within the virtual environment, networking protocols and desktop security make-up.
