Okay, here's the deal neal;
I'm at a point with what I'm doing I feel like I'm stagnating and I want a new challenge. What I'm looking to do is find a small environment to start running for a company, preferably one that needs to be turned around/modernized. Here's a bit about me:
Past:
-Singlehop in Chicago for about 2.5 years. Did Linux/Apache/MySQL/Cpanel, a lot of networking/DNS type applications, racked servers and provided front line support via phones, tickets and email.
-EMC Customer Service for about 3.5 years. I did a lot of upgrades, situational management involving customers, preventative maintenance and break fix. Ultimately a huge part of this was determining what actually were the issues facing customers then working within the system creatively to ensure that they got their needs taken care of.
-EMC Presales for about 2 years. Currently I run a full datacenter environment for EMC's Central Division Presales lab. I do a little of everything include demo products to customers, determine the environment's architecture, build out the environment, secure resources such as networking equipment and storage, provide documentation and overall virtually anything that needs done in the lab. I have lead on networking refreshes, storage refreshes and implementation of a great deal of new software in the lab which is ultimately my end user applications (most people run stuff on top of infrastructure to get things done, my job is unique in that our "end users" are people who are demoing the infrastructure its self. Experience includes EMC VMAX, DSSD, VNX, VPLEX, VMWare (multiple products within the suite including SRM,) Recover Point, Linux, Microsoft SQL Server/Windows Server/AD, Brocade SAN, a limited amount of Oracle and build out/configuration around them. Networking includes a full build out of Distributed vSwitches and configuration of Brocade VDX, Turbo Iron, Cisco 3750, Dell Power Connect and Arista switches. I also have some experience on UCS/Nexus although it's not something I'd brag about. I've also done work with ViPR Controller, ECS, minor work with ViPR SRM as well.
I have no objections to working with a Linux stack, it's one of the things I feel as if this job has pulled me away from. I'll work on damn near anything quite frankly.
Hit me up via PM if you've got something in mind. I realize it's kind of a long shot but you never know where life will take you.
