Justin Palmer

I’m a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with 20+ years designing, implementing, and supporting enterprise IT environments in banking, healthcare, and consulting organizations. I focus on highly available infrastructure, infrastructure modernization, and reliable enterprise systems administration.

I’ve consistently improved performance and reduced costs, including cutting infrastructure and licensing expenses by approximately $200,000 annually through VMware and SQL Server optimization initiatives. I also virtualized over 400 physical servers and managed environments containing 700+ VMware virtual machines.

During acquisitions, I lead technical integration efforts with a strong uptime mindset—integrating five corporate acquisitions with no unplanned downtime. I also mentor engineers and serve as a senior technical resource for complex infrastructure issues.

In my freelance and consulting work, I design and implement infrastructure solutions end-to-end—such as self-hosted video conferencing infrastructure, NeonCRM deployments, and SQL Server administration with performance tuning. I automate administrative processes with PowerShell and prioritize backup, disaster recovery, and security best practices.
