What I do and where I can help
With over 20 years in IT and deep experience from nine years at VMware Professional Services, I bring hands-on expertise to enterprise environments. Here’s how I can support your team:
VCF Deployments
I support organizations in deploying VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environments from planning and preparation to execution. While core design may not be my main focus, I provide valuable input during the design phase and take full ownership of implementation. Whether it’s a greenfield deployment or integrating VCF into existing infrastructure, I ensure a clean and consistent setup that follows best practices and aligns with your business goals.
Aria Automation
I help organizations implement Aria Automation to bring structure and efficiency to their private cloud environments. From initial setup and cloud account integration to building service catalogs and deploying blueprints, I enable teams to automate repeatable tasks and manage resources through a self-service portal. I can also assist with service discovery and governance, ensuring the platform supports both operational needs and compliance.
Aria Suite
I help deploy and configure VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle to simplify the installation and maintenance of your Aria environment. From there, I can help set up the other products in the Aria Suite giving you full visibility and control over your private cloud.
Workload Migrations
I specialize in planning and executing complex workload migrations From traditional vSphere environments to VCF, or between VCF instances. I help reduce risk and downtime by preparing source and target environments, aligning network and storage configurations, and executing the migration using proven tooling and methodologies.
Platform Upgrades
I provide support for lifecycle management and upgrades of key VMware components, including vCenter, ESXi, NSX, Aria Suite, and VCF infrastructure. I ensure upgrade paths are validated, rollback plans are in place, and business impact is minimized. Whether it’s a minor patch or a major version upgrade, I’ll guide your team through the process with confidence and clarity.
NSX for VCF
I support the deployment and configuration of NSX within the scope of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). From edge planning to overlay setup and security policies.
While my primary focus is on NSX as integrated in VCF, I also have hands-on experience with more advanced use cases, such as NSX Federation across multiple locations.
Ready to move forward?
Whether you’re planning a new deployment, optimizing your current setup, or preparing for a major migration. I’m here to help with clear execution and deep technical expertise. My focus is on delivering results, not selling software.
Please note: I do not sell VMware licenses or software. All necessary subscriptions, entitlements, and vendor agreements must be arranged and maintained by the customer.
