Operations under real constraints

Architecture, recovery, performance, and automation

Servers connected to a router, switch, firewall, and monitoring dashboard

I have owned infrastructure through normal operations, major transitions, and compound failures. The work spans implementation and support, but the through line is systems engineering: understand the dependencies, reduce the failure surface, instrument what matters, and make recovery repeatable.

01 · Consolidation

Ten servers became two hosts in one day.

Planned and completed a production cutover from ten physical servers to two VMware ESXi hosts, reducing hardware sprawl while preserving the services the business depended on.

02 · Recovery

Restored operations through compound SAN failure.

Recovered data and service after simultaneous storage-drive and dual-controller failures—an incident where diagnosis, dependency knowledge, and disciplined recovery mattered more than a routine runbook.

03 · Remote desktop

Tuned PCoIP as an end-to-end system.

Worked across the network, virtualization, endpoint, and display path to improve remote-desktop responsiveness instead of treating performance as a single-device problem.

04 · Network architecture

Segmented services by purpose and risk.

Designed VLAN architecture for storage, voice, printers, guests, desktops, and other service groups, making traffic boundaries and operational dependencies explicit.

05 · Voice infrastructure

Connected modern IP telephony to PRI.

Implemented and supported Asterisk-based telephony with PRI integration as part of a broader voice, switching, monitoring, and business-continuity environment.

06 · Automation

Turned multi-hour processes into minutes.

Built internal applications and systems integrations that reduced multi-hour operational workflows to approximately 10–15 minutes.

Infrastructure experience

Built around reliability, clarity, and practical support.
