Success Story

I had an IT Director who trusted me, and when I pitched the idea of virtualizing our server environment, he gave me the green light. We became the first government office in Colorado to virtualize our environment, and larger agencies like Denver County approached us for help after hearing of our success.

Success Story

Our team was tasked with the seemingly impossible job of migrating 300 TB of data stored on backup tapes within 30 days. I designed a system that sequentially read the backup tapes to avoid delays caused by tape seeking. I also developed an interface and logic that allowed the datacenter admin to insert and pull tapes without any user input.

Success Story

We connected 16 fiber-linked drives, and when we activated the system, it overloaded our 10 Gbps network to the point that our ESXi hosts couldn't even send heartbeats to each other—earning it the nickname "Tapezilla." We scaled back to 12 drives but still met the deadline.

Success Story

I was hired to design and build a system to automate the entire upgrade process for the product suite we supported. Traditionally, an upgrade required a minimum of 6 weeks and the involvement of a project manager, a clinician, and a project engineer. The system I developed reduced the need for a project manager and project engineer, completing upgrades in about a week on average. In one case, a determined customer completed an upgrade in a single day.
