Chile

Message

At Motorola Solutions, I administer the systems and data center behind highway-management software for intelligent transportation systems. I maintain and optimize the software, build monitoring and resource-optimization solutions, and manage virtual machines on VMware vSphere and vCenter.

Earlier, at Bluehosting Chile, I led the design and construction project for a new data center in Talca. Across my infrastructure work, I raised Linux server and supporting-infrastructure uptime from 80% to 99.97%; I’ve also developed web applications, built GIS solutions, and audited company web application code for vulnerabilities.
