What is on Your Mind?

I have significant experience of stakeholder management and am a capable communicator, with the ability to translate the technologists language into something that the lay person will understand.

I have been a Linux user in its various forms since 1994, with extensive experience of RHEL, Centos and SLES in production environments.

In addition am familiar with the IBM Power 5, 6, 7 and 8 servers and respective operating systems.
