By day, I work as a Senior System Engineer and IT Architect for Morris Communications LLC in Augusta, Georgia. I am responsible for the provisioning and support of development, QA and production HP-UX and Linux server environments using RHEL and CentOS. I am also part of the engineering and web hosting team that help support Drupal and PressFlow Web 2.0 applications. I helped architect and integrate the use of Memcached into Drupal sites, thus offering better "time to first byte" web performance for our Metro-based websites. Recently I have been elected as the virtualization subject matter expert (SME) handling environments using OSS Xen, VMware vSphere/ESX/ESXi/vConverter.

At night, I allow my inner geek to come out. I run multiple servers at home utilizing aspects under virtualization such as VMware vSphere, ESXi and OSS Xen Server. I even have my own fully loaded HP ProLiant DL580 G2 server at home to actually design and test new features that could be used at work or for the open source community. I also have a Sparc V120 server at home upon which I am running Ubuntu's SPARC distribution to see where improvement can be made and use it for developmental aspects as well. I also volunteer as part of the Drupal.org core in the IRC channels for the high-performance and Drupal in Newspapers group. I am also part of Drupal's PIFR team for testing new modules and core release builds upon a number of virtual servers I have running at home as well.

I have over seventeen years of hands-on, technical and team-lead managerial experience. Since I have been a part of several role-based aspects of the IT industry from everything as a business analyst, database administrator, systems and applications engineer, project manager and enterprise architect, I have the knowledge and understanding of how to make a business run and provide overall return on investment for the services and/or products that are produced.

If dire needs are required, I utilize CrossLoop & Skype for remote hands-on support.
