I am a Microsoft Certified Azure Solutions Architect Expert with my career focus being on Cloud Engineering. I strive to master all technologies that are introduced to me so I can be of use in any situation. My experience in cloud using the Azure and AWS platforms make me the ideal candidate for the management and development within these CSPs. My notable achievements working as a Cloud Administrator include designing and implementing an Enterprise VPN that maintained CMMC and DoD compliance while simultaneously considering cost-saving factors, ease of management, and forward-looking technologies. Additionally, as a Senior Cloud Engineer I was a key individual on a small team responsible for architecting and migrating an IaaS based environment to PaaS while minimizing impacts to the production environment serving 20+ DoD customers with 24/7 mission. I would consider myself an expert in the Azure platform as it pertains to cloud migration and sustainment. I look forward to working on the various projects that clients on Upwork has to offer.

I am a jack of all trades engineer with 25 years of experience in IT. I have a knack for quickly breaking down complex systems and processes to enable troubleshooting or improvement efforts. • Graduated high school 2 years early by taking two semesters of college classes while working full time doing phone support and Unix administration at an ISP. Learned the value of patience and how to explain technical concepts to people with any level of knowledge. • Built a regional ISP from scratch the following year with dial in presences in southeastern Louisiana and southern Mississippi. • Joined DivX as employee #24 at age 18, where I spent 15 years through two acquisitions. Learned the value of company culture. • Became a Windows engineer very quickly when my team was retasked to support CinemaNow, the VOD platform for Best Buy after the acquisition of DivX by Sonic. • Became ITIL v3 certified and embraced the importance of Problem Management and Root Cause Analysis while working as part of the Continual Service Improvement team at Rovi after the acquisition of Sonic by Rovi. • Followed my mentor from Rovi to Digital Realty where I evangelized Problem and Change management, owning and running both processes for my team and others within IT. • Became a people leader, initially of six engineers, but growing to a team of approximately 25 through growth and acquisitions, with two managers reporting up to me. With a wide technical background due to my ISP history, work as a programmer and database administrator, supporting Linux, Solaris, and Windows systems, I am able to identify cross functional issues and opportunities as they arise, and see big picture solutions. This also allows me to lead from a position of technical authority, earning the respect of my engineers. During my time at Digital Realty I learned that my skillset extended beyond the purely technical and believe that I can do anything I set my mind to.
