Entire sequence took only two weeks. 03/2003 9/2003 (Contracted to) Visa International/Inovant Foster City, CA Consulting Infrastructure Architect Advise Sun Professional Services members on AIX/Tivoli capabilities, for rearchitecture of Visa's global data centers. 09/2002 11/2002 (Confidential client, details available on request) New York, NY Recovery Consultant (WTC Recovery Follow-on)

The recovery from the World Trade Center went well for this organization; they didn't drop a byte. But their disaster recovery site was co-located with another, resident organization. This sharing of the same data center and network led to confusion. The impact of the recovery on legacy systems at the recovery site was not well understood. The IT chain of command became fragmented, and the hybrid post-recovery infrastructure began experiencing repeated hours-long outages without clear cause or accountability. During the investigation, it also became clear that the recovery site's 1-megawatt backup power plant had been neglected for a decade; no generator had ever been installed; the battery cases in the UPS room had blistered and split due to age and plate growth.

Conduct technical and personnel audit of infrastructure, including UNIX, Windows, mainframe, voice, power, fire, and radio communications. Interview dozens of staff members from line level to CEO. Provide purchasing, staffing, and retention recommendations. Lead expedited technical fixes for critical issues. Lead effort to reverse-engineer host roles and application dependencies, consolidate servers, and plan for future disaster recovery.

Plan and manage emergency rework of data center primary and backup power systems, executing all power rework in one 40-hour weekend with a team of 15 sysadmins and 60 electricians. Power systems rework included shutdown of entire building, complete replacement of battery plant, refurbishment of UPS, installation of generator and automatic transfer switch. (The upgraded plant allowed this site to withstand the 2003 Northeast grid blackout.)

06/2001 07/2002 (Contracted to) InterTrade Systems Corp. Campbell, CA Consulting Infrastructure Architect Production EDI data center buildout including multiple AIX/HACMP clusters. Audit legacy systems and integrate selected portions into new environment. Plan rollout technology and timelines, implement automated administration infrastructure based on isconf framework, including backport to AIX. Fully automate repeatable installation of HACMP, TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) backup system, db2 database servers, and SonicMQ. Integrate db2 to TSM for online backups. Set up monitoring. Assist engineers in integration and debug of large in-house Java EDI application.

Using IBM-recommended manual build procedures, it can take 40-80 hours to build a single HACMP cluster by hand. Using automated administration techniques we were able to instead build and configure the same clusters in under two hours each, unattended, starting from bare hardware. This allowed us to rebuild them dozens of times, testing to destruction and making changes as we went.

In addition to the clusters, we also fully automated build, patch maintenance, and application installation on all other hosts in the infrastructure, saving months of rework time during rollout.

LDAP directory data management and project planning. IS project management for over 600 desktop moves from Sun into Netscape's internal infrastructure. Maintain and upgrade Netscape's central CVS source code repository, address issues related to scalability and legal requirements for iPlanet. Some support for Mozilla.Org. Enterprise architecture for iPlanet development organization. The iPlanet effort was a joint venture between 2500 developers and other staff within the Netscape and Sun organizations. The heterogeneous networks and systems of the two companies needed to be joined to enable cooperation, but it was mandatory that non-iPlanet intellectual property on both companies' networks and servers remain protected. The AOL network needed to be protected from both Netscape and Sun. This required a third-party DMZ network between the two companies, jointly administered, with back-to-back firewalls and co-located proxy and other servers. I worked with the staff of both companies in the capacity of technical design and project management for this infrastructure. This included network connectivity between companies, firewall rule negotiation, encryption and digital signature techniques, placement and role of servers and labs, LDAP directory data management and project planning, and addressing issues related to scalability and legal requirements for iPlanet.
