I discovered IT and computer rooms when I started out as a maintenance technician at IBM. I constantly sought to discover, learn and vary my work, always keeping in mind the customer’s wishes and the success of their project. Opportunities have enabled me to work for major accounts as an architect for infrastructure leaders such as IBM, EMC² and VMware. VMware’s vSphere solution, which initially enabled me to rationalize the use of servers, excited me right from the start. For the past six years, I’ve worked exclusively on designing VMware Cloud Foundation solutions. After these many years as an architect, with itQ I’m going to use the findings and skills I’ve acquired in the course of my many projects to help my customers with their day-to-day IT management.
