13+ years in IT, telecom and corporate infrastructure — architecture, support and migrations at enterprise scale.
13+ years in IT, telecom and corporate infrastructure — 8 of them in pure telecom. Along the way: 50+ software implementation, support and migration projects, and 50+ projects architecting hardware around clients' solutions — owning enterprise architecture at, frankly, babysitter level, across dozens of vendors.
At peak: single-handed support for 45 server racks at once — 450 servers, 25 storage arrays, 20 switch pairs at a telecom operator. Support spanning both IBM Power and Oracle Exadata. Priority stack for the last five years: Lenovo + Nutanix, including solutions on Lenovo ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile. A certified Lenovo service engineer and a repeatedly-certified Nutanix specialist (NCP-MCI, NCP-US, NCP-DB, NCP-CN).
From the first Xeons and direct-attached LSI onward — hands-on support for gear from:
Designing and operating Nutanix.
Backup architecture on Commvault.
Hyperconverged storage; Lenovo DM/DG and Dell arrays; Brocade FC SAN fabrics.
Infrastructure design for Kubernetes; database management on Nutanix.
Fortinet / Check Point, Juniper, Cisco, Arista — plus NVIDIA and Edgecore architecture.
End-to-end solution design, weak-point analysis of existing infrastructure, rebuilds, migrations and budget optimization.
