Cloud Migration Specialist

As a Cloud Migration Specialist, I spend most of my time migrating workloads to the Azure cloud from on-prem and other cloud providers. It is my job to ensure the compatibility and functionality of systems work in their new home in the cloud. With a focus on IaaS deployments, customers rely on my skills to make the transition to the cloud.

What is your ultimate goal when working with customers?

My ultimate goal is to prepare the customer with a migration plan that will be smooth and successful when moving to the cloud. Educating customers on how their systems will function in the cloud is part of a complete and successful migration.

Practice Lead - Azure

I work hard to establish a trusting relationship with my customers. I strive for this by coming up with solutions tailored specifically for them and providing advice when needed, whether or not it’s directly related to the issue at hand.

What is your ultimate goal when working with customers?

I am a problem-solver and take on the challenges that customers are facing and provide them with creative and workable solutions. To ensure I fully understand their main problem, I let them talk freely about their issues and what they want and need. When presenting solutions to address their challenges, I will also provide the rationale behind the approach.

I love playing tennis and enjoy practicing Aikido. I love reading about philosophy and logic. I also have a big interest in languages, word play and paradox. As a result, I have a dry sense of humour.

System Administrator II

I am resolution-oriented and empathetic to the client’s challenge and the adverse effect it can have on their business. I strive to resolve each issue as efficiently as possible to have a minimum impact on our clients. The key to this approach is to understand as much about the problem or inquiry as possible to prevent any unnecessary delay on the path to resolution.

As a baker, I like any dessert that I can recreate in my kitchen. Still working on flan, it’s tricky!

I’ve never met a stranger.

Went on African Safari, fed a rhino, got up close with a lioness and tried to avoid an adolescent elephant. It was great!
