I have over 10 years experience in the technology field and over 8 years experience with Linux based web hosting, specifically RedHat Enterprise and CentOS distributions. I have managed teams of developers, technical specialists and vendors throughout my career.


Within the past year I migrated a datacenter setup over to Amazon Web Services. This move helped reduce costs by eliminating equipment, power, battery backup systems, cooling and company resources. In addition to the cost saving benefit this initiative allows for rapid growth and scalability.
