At VMware, I'm a Senior Cloud Solutions Architect in the Multi-Cloud Management Group within the Modern Apps and Management Business Unit. I help customers design and build cloud management solutions using the VMware vRealize suite of products:

 

• vRealize Operations (vROps)

• vRealize True Visibility Suite (vRTVS)

• vRealize Automation (vRA) including SaltStack and SaltStack SecOps

• vRealize Log Insight (vLI)

• vRealize LifeCycle Manager (vRLCM)

At Blue Medora, I was a Principal Solution Architect in the True Visibility Group (TVG).  I helped customers design and build monitoring solutions using VMware vRealize Operations and the True Visibility Suite (TVS) of management packs.

​

VMware acquired the TVG from Blue Medora in July 2020 and has since re-branded TVS as vRealize TVS (vRTVS).  Details around vRTVS can be found here:

At IBM, I held several roles over the years, but the most recent was as an IT Specialist working on distributed systems monitoring environments for customers that had outsourced monitoring and management of their IT infrastructures to IBM. 

​

We used primarily the IBM Tivoli Monitoring suite of products for monitoring and the IBM Tivoli Netcool Omnibus product for event management.
