Serve key role driving solutions in pre-sales architecture.

Engage technology professionals to design and architect infrastructure that incorporates in-depth roadmap development addressing various needs that include servers, storage, networking, phones, data center services, managed services, and aligning an expansive catalog of products to deliver smooth and reliable operations. Transitioned a large credit company\'s separation from parent operation by serving as the Solutions Architect and Technical Account Manager driving infrastructure design, procurement, build, and delivery management for 2 datacenters and remote business centers. Worked closely with the CBTS security, storage, and network teams to manage orders on tight deadlines, ensuring success across each wave of project deliverables that would include 50 to 80 pieces of equipment.

Managed benchmarks and reporting through daily scrum calls to proactively resolve issues prior to escalation. Engaged customers to assess operations and identify gaps in productivity and opportunities for streamlining, and then designed appropriate pay-as-you-grow solutions that permitted adding and removing capacity as needed while delivering a 10% buffer for use as and when needed. Reduced the server footprint for a large spirits company by 70% by analyzing web of servers, operating systems, and licenses, and piecing together and transferring some legacy applications to Cisco UCS. Expertly guided the customer through education and analysis to reduce service contract and licensing fees to absorb 30% of new infrastructure.
