Experience

Experience that maps to real infrastructure pressure

This is not a keyword mirror of my resume. It is the operating context behind it: 15+ years of enterprise infrastructure work across distributed systems, enterprise storage, virtualization, Linux, networking, automation, customer escalations, and AI/HPC infrastructure.
