Personal Narrative
As a manager of technology, as well as active Systems Administrator and Network Engineer, my role is to create and manage computing solutions for multiple libraries at the University of South Florida. VMWare-based virtualization infrastructures, cloud-based hosting environments, and Linux CentOS Web Technologies (LAMP) are platforms of choice. Also specialize in troubleshooting LAN issues, as well as managing Cisco and Windows-based Firewalls, switches and LAN architectures. As a technologist with a years-long open-door policy, I'm always ready to be engaged in questions or comments, or general technology discussion.
