Leading the team at Nutanix that develops methods for successfully implementing enterprise applications on the Nutanix platform — from architectural requirements through customer delivery.
I lead a team at Nutanix that develops methods for successfully implementing enterprise applications on the Nutanix platform. My work spans the full cycle: defining architectural and business requirements, creating designs, and delivering customer implementations.
Before Nutanix, I spent years in the trenches doing migrations and implementations of Microsoft and Citrix infrastructures — RDS, XenApp, XenDesktop, NetScaler, PVS — often paired with RES Workspace Manager. That hands-on background still shapes how I approach infrastructure challenges today.
I’ve been blogging here since 2011 as a way to document what I learn and share it with the community. If something took me a while to figure out, chances are someone else will run into it too.
