With nearly 30 years of experience working across every IT platform, from MS-DOS, Novell Netware, Windows NT ... to every major platform on-premise and in the cloud today, there is not much I haven't worked with. I am a software developer who crossed over into hardware, then network engineering and administration. I work predominantly in cloud computing and datacentre’s space; this gives me the ability to understand how the software integrates into the hardware and network platforms very well. As CEO of my UpWork agency, vCloud Group - Global Cloud Services, I tend to work in all areas of Information Technology and Communications. Anything from desktop and workstations, to server systems, running Exchange, SQL Server, Oracle, Azure Integration, and system services like Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity, Multi-Site Cloud Networks and VoIP-based phone system. I am always working with my team to find the best possible solution for a client; I am not scared to advise you of a better solution that I believe you deserve or do better with. We have had several clients who started with one solution, then ended up with a better solution that exceeded their expectations. My experience has allowed me to work in areas: • IT systems and management, • technical support, and • project management. My focus areas on UpWork are: • Building of dedicated cloud networks in all major data centres, • VMWare vSphere/ESXi Hypervisor 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 6.7, 7.0, • VMWare vCenter 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, • VMWare Horizon View 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 all versions, • Microsoft Windows 10/11 all versions, • Microsoft Windows Server 2012/2016/2019/2022 all versions, • Linux all versions, • Dedicated Hosting Server i.e., cPanel/WHM, Plesk, CyberPanel, • Hosting Migrations from/to cPanel/WHM, Plesk or CyberPanel, • System Migrations, on-premise, cloud or hybrid (both), • Email Migrations (Google, Office 365 Migrations, and any to any), • VoIP Phone Systems, built-in any datacentre worldwide • All backup solution software on-premises or in the cloud. I am more than happy to discuss and look at projects first before accepting a contract; I ask many questions, and I double-check and follow up on everything I do. I hope to work with you soon.
