I build resilient enterprise storage and SAN environments for critical operations.
What I'm looking for
At Hewlett Packard Enterprise, I deliver resilient, high-performance enterprise storage environments and lead SAN and storage migration projects for customers including Temasek, Tata Communications, DXC, and SSMC.
I've designed and implemented solutions across HPE Primera, XP, MSA, Nimble, Brocade, Cisco, and mainframe environments. My work includes online SAN migrations, data migrations, backup infrastructure upgrades, high-availability quorum migrations, and greenfield XP7 deployments.
Over 23 years in IT, including 12 years in enterprise storage/SAN consulting and 11 years in customer support, I've handled complex escalations and mission-critical recovery work. I'm pursuing an MTech in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence and am interested in applying predictive analytics to infrastructure management.
