A professional with CS/EE background and relevant experience as IT manager, NetAdmin, Linux SysAdmin, Lab/Project Manager, Security Officer, IT Architect and DevOps Engineer. I am looking forward to contribute to a company with my analytic and problem solving skills, in environments with hundreds/thousands of networked devices/servers/computers, helping both in Development and Operations (DevOps), in areas such as “Big Data”/Analytics, web-oriented services, SDN/OpenFlow/networking, Cloud Computing, automation, Continuous Integration, and related. ============================================================================ EXTRA NOTE: I'd be open to hear about opportunities in small/medium sized startups, as a director or manager in Systems Operations or Engineering. I'd like a role that is half hands-on and half lead. I'll certainly take a detailed look at those opportunities. In the case of individual contributor roles, since I try to move away from that, the most important criteria for me to keep doing what I currently do (but somewhere else), would be compensation. And no, cool offices and toys will not make any difference. Operations tends to be a role for responsible adults. ============================================================================
