Who is Chris?

Certified Senior Virtualization Engineer with over 13 years of IT experience. I hold advanced industry certifications that underscore my specialization in VMware, Omnissa, Linux, and Windows environments. I deliver secure, scalable solutions through P2V migrations, capacity planning, security hardening, performance tuning, patch management, and disaster recovery.

 

Currently, I spearhead transformative initiatives with VMware Cloud Foundation (vCF) and VMware Cloud Director (vCD) for the DoD, architecting and optimizing multi-tenant, hybrid cloud environments that empower organizations with unparalleled flexibility and efficiency. My work with vCF focuses on streamlining data center operations, automating lifecycle management, and ensuring robust security compliance for mission-critical workloads. With vCD, I enable seamless service delivery, enhancing resource orchestration and tenant isolation for customers. Additionally, I leverage Aria Automation to orchestrate complex workflows, accelerating deployment and scalability.
