Occupation:
Broadscape IT Strategist
Open Source project(s) I'm involved with or passionate about:
Linux (of course)
Asterisk
I am currently an independent business and technology consultant, skilled Linux system administrator and Perl application developer. I am looking forward to new horizons and new challenges.
My primary focus has been on:
1. Business consulting and management
2. Creating application designs and then developing the design using Perl.
3. System architecture/administration (on CentOS and Fedora)
4. Design and Development of a VOIP Reminder Call Program for TheCourtBrothers.com
I am highly self-motivated, intellectually curious, dedicated to my work, my clients, and thrive on problem solving. I am looking for a new position that will keep challenging me to develop new and better ways to improve business and the applications that make companies work. I am looking for a company that has innovative ideas and products and wants to move forward toward their future.
My ideal position would be working with a virtual team via telecommute with regular face to face check-ins as needed. I am not opposed to on-site work. Not everyone has the skill set required to work productively and successfully via telecommute, but I have been doing it for 10 years now, and this solution has proven to be cost effective for my employers and allowed me to work most efficiently.

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers
Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy
Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
