Career Journey

  • Solution Architect - At SUSE, as a Sr. Technology Strategist, I've focused on major hardware and software partners plus embedded solution providers, providing designs and creating, installing and supporting proof-of-concept/production pilots, along with reference architectures, white papers and bench-marking deliverables. During this tenure I have been a steadfast user of openSUSE for my desktop/workstation/laptops.

  • IT Architect - Overlapping below and above, I have been a passionate, contributing member and advocate of the FOSS community. A core focus was Linux device-level enablement of the company's computing platforms and leading an IT Linux initiative to get production services moved onto the Linux platform, with one of the earliest was on SUSE 6.0.

  • Electrical Engineer - I used my formal education, along with mechanical and biomedical slants as a hardware designer, developing hybrid, thickfilm microcircuits, and started automation of design, process and test engineering tasks as well.

On an installed Linux system, utilize performance test cases from available suites to evaluate desired functionality, similar to the workloads being used, plus then also continually and regularly apply patch updates and then compare to the previous functionality outcomes to assess if things are working faster or perhaps slower. This can be done on other systems even outside of your production ones to help initially assess possible changes that might happen. Given the test cases and functionality plus some support aspects also being stored, it is then possible to evaluate over many implemented updates and even upgrades if this will impact your systems, to reach out for support, or maybe even if it will potentially improve things over time.
