Full Biography

I am a primarily a software engineer, taking vision and architecting a reality out of it. From selecting the proper technologies for the job to designing the database and business models.

I also design and build four-nine (99.99%) uptime data labs for hosting. I have vast experience starting from the network design to the application/database server configurations. Along the way I specialize in identifying single points of failure, making them redundant, and putting monitors in place. Specifics include redundant switches, routers, clusters, server farms, AC power, multiple internet providers, and even multiple labs at different locations.

Certifications include MCSA, MCSE, and MCDBA. CCNE/CCNP level of Cisco router/switch experience.
20 years of experience developing software.
