I'm a guy who loves to build cool stuff and have fun doing it. Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to work alongside and learn from a lot of awesome people with diverse experience, working together to manage massive networks and some of the fastest computers in the world. When I’m not tackling a new data center project, you’ll probably find me contributing to open-source projects, traveling, or out on the ice playing hockey.
Stuff I've been apart of:
- Applied Digital - Helped maintain a fleet of 6,000+ H100 GPU Nodes which consisted of either 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G, 200G, or 400G networking amonst them. Assisted with datacenter connectivity, device configuration and templating, automation, monitoring, rack layouts, cable matrixes, security audits, client communication, breakfix, day-0 systems configurations, training junior team members.
- Core Scientific - Helped maintain a fleet of 250,000 microcontroller endpoints, over 500MW of power load, 10,000 network switches. Wrote automation that allowed non-technical individuals to preform technical tasks, reducing time to recovery, and making deployments faster, and more accurate.
- Independant Contractor: Helped design, build-out, and maintain multiple small(er) scale GPU mining farms, configuring monitoring, alerting, networking, remote management, infrastructure systems, power management, and rack layouts.
