I make systems work.

BlueAlly Technology Solutions · Atlanta, GA

Current seat is customer architecture: turn unclear technical goals into designs, plans, and explanations a team can act on. The work splits across two live motions. Practical AI application design, and VMware to Nutanix modernization.

• Shape GenAI and RAG conversations around process, data sources, security, workflow, and the first build a customer can support after the demo.
• Guide placement for AI and general workloads across private, public, and hybrid patterns. Sensitivity, latency, and the operating model win the argument, not the slide.
• Help customers evaluate a move from VMware to Nutanix: renewal pressure, sizing, POC scope, migration sequence, operational risk.
• Built and keep NutaNIX, a public field guide so VMware minded engineers can learn Nutanix, handle objections, and prepare for certification.
• Run Nutanix Daily as a field note stream: news turned into talking points, caveats, and next actions.

Business Technology Architects (BTA) · Alpharetta, GA

Ran the storage and compute practice while standing up a production AI inference platform for Cisco partners. Hardware was real: Cisco UCS X-Series, NVIDIA GPU clusters, Pure Storage. The product was a git repo partners could clone and run.

• Built an air gapped LLM platform for regulated sectors: healthcare, finance, government. Partners went from bare metal to inference in under an hour with a 100% deploy success rate.
• Multi model runtime with hot swap across Llama, Mistral, and custom fine tunes, plus an OpenAI compatible API for LangChain and LlamaIndex.
• ChatGPT like interface with streaming responses and live GPU metrics so partners could see utilization, not just a demo prompt.
• Wrote labs and training so Cisco partners could repeat the build without tribal knowledge.

EMOTO Electric Motorbikes

Left the rack for two years to run sales and operations for a Southeast electric bike distributor. Grew the book, widened the line, then came back to infrastructure.

• Raised sales 225% in the first year.
• Expanded the line and moved a small shop to a regional position.

Pure Storage · Atlanta, GA

Fortune 100 storage in the Southeast. Architecture, disaster recovery, and the kind of customer work that still has to be up when the weather is not.

Dell Technologies · Atlanta, GA

Technical presales for software defined storage, converged and hyperconverged systems, and cloud. Sat with customers through data center consolidations and made the architecture make sense to the people who had to run it.

• Worked VxRail, PowerFlex, VxBlock, Azure, virtualization, and containers on commercial and enterprise accounts.
• Supported major data center consolidation programs and helped customers walk their engineering process, not just pick a SKU.
• Configured and documented hardware, software, and service designs. Qualified the technical side of the deal: requirements, competition, decision path, funding.
• Mentored sales teams and technical buyers through long presales campaigns.

Corus360 · Atlanta, GA

Recruited in on reputation to run presales and post sales delivery for a Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 client base. The seat covered the datacenter, the helpdesk, and a bench of about 25 billable engineers.

• Directed employees, consultants, project managers, and technical writers so delivery projects actually closed clean.

• Designed and installed more than 50 proof of concept projects at a 90%+ conversion rate. Regularly beat established storage vendors in the lab.
• Grew the SE org to 13 plus teams, wrote the onboarding, the hands on labs, the whiteboard, and the product demo.
• Trained partner and reseller technical resources so the Southeast was not a one man show.

EMC Corporation · Atlanta, GA

Two seats, one house. First, grew the global vSpecialists practice around EMC and VMware work. Then ran operations for 5,500 presales engineers worldwide.

• Grew vSpecialists from 30 to more than 150 people without dropping the technical bar.
• Briefed EMC’s largest customers and kept the VMware collaboration real in the field, not just on a slide.
