Dinner

Throughout my career I have been asked to maintain a customer focus, thinking about problems from the end user perspective and recreating them in a lab environment, or proactively crafting scenarios to demonstrate failure points to our internal development groups. In both scenarios, the customer focus is of primary importance, both internal and external. As technology continually changes, so do the technical aspects of my position, requiring a constant evolution of my skillset. As such, I have spent time not only learning the tools of the performance trade, but maintained knowledge on a variety host platforms, operating systems, networking, and database systems. I am a highly motivated, highly skilled “go getter” and I pride myself on being able to identify and drive resolution of problems encountered. I've spent my early career doing just that in various technical support roles, which in the end culminated in my present role in systems architecture. A common thread running throughout my work history and ethic is a willingness and enthusiasm to teach and guide others, in all of roles.

Unlock your AI Potential with an Innovative Data Foundation

AI progresses so fast that most organizations don’t even know they’re not adapting quickly enough. The ones that do, however, are developing devastatingly good data foundations to power AI and analytics. Market leaders are infusing automations into their data processes to drive efficiencies and value, creating the observability they need to swiftly manage costs and risks. Others are pushing the envelope further, with innovative use cases for predictive modelling and using new levels of observability to better define company risks and costs. Asset management giant, Vanguard, uses this approach to handle it’s immense data volumes and workloads, including a daily spike of 60 million concurrent data updates, and bring compute costs down by 30% – are you ready to do the same?
