#### [Clearcable Networks](https://clearcable.ca) (Hamilton, ON) - Senior Systems Architect
* Oct 2018 - present
In the role of Senor Systems Architect I provide operational support, research, and development to the Clearcable Standard Operating Environment (SOE) through a DevOps mentality and mentorship of teammates. In this role I have been responsible for several major projects, including the deployment of my [Parallel Virtual Cluster](https://github.com/parallelvirtualcluster/pvc) hypervisor platform for customer systems to provide greater resilience and reduce administrative burden, the creation of several additional deployment methodologies for the SOE system including support for a wide range of underlying hypervisors, the continued improvement of our monitoring frameworks, and the tight integration of Ansible and Infrastructure-as-code into our team systems administration workflows. This role has also necessitated the development of several tools and utilities, mostly using Python, for internal use, as well as the documentation and training of staff in their use, as well as the continued improvement of existing tools and workflows. In the sub-role as deployment specialist, I have deployed over 20 new customer systems from pre-sales to completion, along with continued day-to-day maintenance of our SOE systems.
In the role of senior systems architect, I am charged with keeping various Clearcable SOE systems in full working order, performing R&D to advance the platform, and enabling DevOps culture and automation within the Systems and Software teams. My primary projects have included the implementation of my own [PVC hypervisor manager](https://github.com/parallelvirtualcluster) software as a base hypervisor for SOE, the expansion and unification of Ansible for management and orchestration of software deployment, and the evolution of various platform aspects to updated versions as needs change. As a deployment specialist as well, I've been responsible for the deployment of 20+ new PVC clusters for both new and upgraded customers, and 10+ brand-new customers including full Clearcable NOMS provisioning integration, both in a technical and project-manageral role.
#### [VM Farms](https://vmfarms.com) (Toronto, ON) - Linux DevOps Administrator, Operations Technical Lead
* Aug 2016 – Sept 2018
In the role of Linux System Administrator I provided management of systems for web application developers within the framework of a DevOps operations service providing consulting advice and managed hosting. Using both an in-house Xen based cloud as well as various remote computing services including AWS, I helped ensure the continued operation of the platform as well as the day-to-day administration of customer systems. Utilizing configuration management with Puppet and Ansible, I provisioned and managed applications serving millions of users and using multiple web development stacks, HTTP servers, and database backends, in addition to various proxying, queueing and caching applications. During late 2017 and 2018 in the role of Technical Lead for Operations, I assisted in the training of new employees and daily technical decisions with a mind for best-practices, and interacted regularly and in-depth with customers using various communication tools.

#### [Clearcable Network Services](https://clearcable.ca) (Hamilton, ON) - Linux System Administrator
* Jan 2013 – Jul 2016
In the role of System Administrator I used my skills with internetworking and Linux servers to ensure the proper operation of the Clearcable Networks Standard Operating Environment, a Debian GNU/Linux-based Internet Service Provider platform running on Cisco UCS hardware, and using Xen virtualization and bcfg2 configuration management. This included management of provider-grade services including DNS with BIND9; ISC DHCP in advanced configurations; Postfix/Courier email stacks; monitoring with Icinga and Munin; server hardware maintenance and support including full system rebuilds, hardware performance analysis and troubleshooting. I contributed advancements to the platform, assisting in its continued development and growth, including a major distribution upgrade project and implementation of live migration functionality to the platform using DRBD. During oncall rotation and daily support tasks, I also assisted in the deployment and maintenance of service provider networking, including routing and CMTS/ DOCSIS and VoIP access technologies to ensure the optimal operation of our client systems.
