About Marlon F.

As a U.S. Navy-trained electrician and current Critical Environment Supervisor, I bring over two decades of experience managing mission-critical power, cooling, and automation systems — from shipboard engineering plants to Tier 4 data centers. I started my career maintaining and troubleshooting high-voltage electrical systems aboard naval vessels, ensuring continuous power generation, distribution, and operational safety under demanding conditions.Today, I apply that same precision and accountability to data center infrastructure — leading teams that oversee HVAC, electrical, information technology and life-safety systems across modular data center environments (MDC/ITPAC, CRAY/CDU). I specialize in diagnosing complex system faults, optimizing preventive maintenance programs, and integrating automation through DHCP logic and PLC programming to enhance reliability and efficiency.My passion lies in solving problems before they become failures — maintaining uptime, safety, and performance for environments where even seconds of downtime matter.
