PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY:

• Products I support are mainly Server/SAN/Network(Cisco) hardware, Windows, Linux, Solaris, the VMWare line of products(for Confidential multi - tenant with Coop site failover, State Dept., Confidential multi-tenant, DOJ and AA county Gov. md) and secondarily AWS Fault tolerant configurations, Xen/Citrix, KVM, Openstack, Eucalyptus, Docker/Containers, Hyper-V, Windows 2016 Nano Servers/Containers and Azure.
• Extensive experience with P2V, V2V and Hybrid cloud solutions (using AWS VPC and point to point/multipoint VPNs). I work with automation products such as Puppet, Chef, Vagrant and Docker files, but have a preference for Confidential .
• With minimal supervisory assistance documentation and design sketch support from Managers, Developers and Web App. Admins, I can design, document, test and Build your infrastructure to fit your needs. I can deploy and administer applications on IIS, Apache and NGINX.
• Although I am not a programmer, Web developer or DBA I have supported COTS, GOTS, Customer built software, Weblogic, Mongo DB, MSSQL, Oracle DB and Mysql etc. with local hardware, AWS, Azure and Docker images. I am also familiar with supporting legacy .NET applications.
• I can Monitor the infrastructure using tools like Nagios, Splunk, Zenoss, SCCM, Zabbix, etc.
• I have many years experience in securing the network using STIGs, scanning tools, Cisco ASAs, firewalls and security appliances.
• I maintain and build upon my skill-set using MOOCs(Massive open online courses), forums, Linuxacademy.com, Confidential, Vendor Webinars, Security Websites and my own home lab environment using Physical and Virtual servers. I also use AWS and Azure for experimenting, learning new skills and testing Hybrid configurations before presenting ideas to my supervisors.
• I have owned my own IT consulting company Powersource (see below) for 15 years that I use for subcontracting, Corp to Corp and 1099 work, but I prefer the stability of W2 work.
• Due to the classified nature of some of my jobs, I could only list limited information under those positions to reduce the possibility of disclosing sensitive information about the products used in the infrastructure even though they are COTS products. I can give more information during an interview because I will be reasonably sure I am speaking to a U.S. citizen.
