Skills
Summary
Seasoned veteran with extensive Engineering Leadership Experience across multiple industries. I specialize in supporting large scale applications (Android Messaging and Apple iCloud) by utilizing core SRE principles. I’m a proponent of utilizing and cultivating a culture of psychological safety. Areas like automation, monitoring, capacity planning & performance, backup & recovery, security, networking and provisioning can all benefit from using the SRE model to enhance the nature and quality of interactions between development and operations teams. I have over 28 years of professional experience in both systems and software engineering and integration (including: heterogeneous system and network design, evaluation, installation and configuration, administration and troubleshooting); expertise in data communications, mobile, search and social network development; ability to master new technologies quickly, and a proven track record of supervising and completing projects on time, on budget and with minimal supervision.
