He has held various technical sales, consulting, and leadership roles at World Wide Technology, Capgemini Engineering, Forsythe Technology, and Affiliated Computer Services (among others). He has broad experience in server and storage infrastructure and performance, system engineering, high availability and disaster recovery, enterprise backup and recovery, and product development and go-to-market strategy.
Having been around IT architecture, product management, strategy, engineering services and product sales, technical sales enablement, IT consulting, field support, data science, outsourcing/offshoring, software development and support, training and mentoring, operations, and academic research, his vast experience and skillsets make him uniquely qualified to solve hard problems across different disciplines.
He frequently writes white papers, presents at IBM technical conferences and contributes to others' presentations, and has published research into machine learning, graph processing, and natural language processing and reviews publications for the IEEE Journal of Cybernetics. He is an IBM Champion (since 2019) and has too many certifications/badges to list here (see below).
