• Demonstrated experience planning and executing server consolidation and virtualization efforts on Windows, Solaris, and Red Hat Linux in a production operational environment.

• Demonstrated experience with implementing ITIL standards and processes in a large, highly available, dynamic data center operation.
• Demonstrated experience managing a 7x24x365 Data center that monitors a national service and manages faults and failures proactively and reactively.

• Demonstrated experience with systems engineering in the context of a large, complex infrastructure.
