I am an image bearer of God, who serves as experienced IT network and systems administration operations practitioner with a demonstrated history of infrastructure design, development, and support. As an IT infrastructure operations lead, I drive project value by leading teams which build and development resource infrastructures, ensuring availability and performance, supporting the underlying technologies, and managing costs. With over 20 years of experience within information technology, I have cultivated a well-rounded and diverse knowledge base that serves my projects well, whether it is driving local innovations of applications and resources on an enterprise on-premises environment, or implementing a diverse offering of resources and virtual machines in a complex cloud infrastructure. In my experience I’ve found that migration to cloud environments or adoption of cloud services must first start with proper knowledge and experience of cloud environments and how to best utilize those services for your specific application needs. This knowledge and experience start with the project leaders and architects, who direct implementations of cloud concepts and best practices to fit applications needs and provide scalability and resilience, while maintaining the performance that on-premises environments have provided.
