5 Unknown Facts

I'm currently a x64 Product Specialist,Vmware VCP, and Architect for the Systems Practice serving in the US Western Region. Previously, I was the first SE for startup Terraspring, a Utility Computing Software company funded in part by HP and EMC, and was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2002. I was also part of the team that built over 30 Internet Data Centers for Exodus Communications serving as a Senior Network Engineer. Other tenures include Senior Engineer for Lucent, Sniffer Technologies, and Network Manager at Lloyds Bank. I began at a Digital Equipment Corp. OEM including system design and integration of first generation Ethernet and VAX/VMS clusters. I hold a BS degree in Electronic Engineering and I'm a member of Santa Clara Valley IEEE.

Here are five things you probably don't know about me:


In 1998, whilst walking to the Church of Nativity, Bethlehem on a visit to Jerusalem, I very carelessly walked into a car and broke it's side mirror off. Not recommended while visiting Palestine.










In 2001, I was in the World Trade Towers in New York just days before 911.










My first job involved installing first generation Thin/Thickwire Ethernet backbones. I still have wonderful memories of British Steel, Port Talbot (nice place).








While on my first day on the job in London 1990, I was sent down to the Transport Center to execute a DEC VAX/VMS upgrade on the system that controlled ALL the City of London's Traffic Light Systems. Think I aged ten years that day!








I was one of 100,000 people that attended the Genenis outside concert at Knebworth in 1992. The parking attendants did a runner with the money before the concert ended leaving chaos and car park grid lock. It took more than 6-hours (5am) for the traffic to clear.
