      Technical Team Leader - Cloud Services

      I began my Brennan experience on the Service Desk then moved through the business to Managed Services. From Managed Services i transitioned into a role that looked after the internal systems, monitoring systems for the whole business and the infrastructure-as-a-service platform. As the team became exclusively focused on Cloud my role changed from System Engineer to Senior Systems Engineer and now I am the Technical Team Leader and second in charge of the department. The nature of Cloud services ensures we maintain our strong relationship with all other parts of the business including Managed Services, Projects and Brennan Voice and Data. Show less

      I am currently the lead technical architect of the Cloud Platform at Over the Wire. My primary responsibilities include the design, installation, monitoring, run and improvement of the virtual and hosted infrastructure. My current focus is on delivering a feature rich self service portal for virtualised systems complete with supporting processes and documentation.Recently i have created a c# based MVC webapi that extracts information from vSphere and vCloud databases and presents the data on demand. The goal being to be able to integrate this API into Over the Wire other core systems to give other departments, and eventually clients, insight into the virtual environment.Utilising the VMware vcloud api and Python i have been able to script several functions related to the provisioning of vCloud Director portals.I have also been undergoing online guided labs provided by VMware for VMware NSX (network virtualisation) and VMware vSAN.
