Summary

I am a hard working highly motivated and committed individual with a wide range of technical skills. I spent 14 years with VMware focusing on virtualization and the software defined datacentre. This involved all aspects of deploying, delivering and supporting critical capacity. I was lead for a number of high profile projects including delivering cthe infrastructure used for Hands-on Labs at vm explore (previously known as VMWorld). I am currently working within the financial industry as an NSX-T engineer. I enjoy working with new technologies and problem solving. I am equally happy working collaboratively or on my own initiative.
