About me

I’m a professional systems engineer, moonlighter and computer/technology hobbyist from the greater Boston area. My work is focused primarily on the systems aspects of computer networking, virtualization, storage and security. I’ve worked in a number of different environments ranging from tight-knit start-ups to large-scale enterprises.

My Skillset: Linux, Xen, Storage, Security, Networking, “LAMP”, Open Source

I work with the above on a daily basis but I’m always open to new projects and technologies so if your looking for help with a systems project, we should talk.
