As GCAP/CBDB branch's sysadmin I am responsible for 500+ network nodes, including 25 critical servers. I am responsible for ensuring 24/7 operation of these machines, which include an AD DC server, an NIS server, dB servers and file servers with Px fMRI and sMRI data, application servers, &c. As Px data is confidential, security is of utmost concern. To that extent, I ensure the safety of our network with my background as a hacker.

I have a strong network infrastructure and security background, as well as software engineering targeting the .NET platform. Via my own experience I am proficient at writing scripts for Windows Powershell and BASH. In my own time, I serve as sysadmin of a network I constructed from scratch. This network brings together friends living in various places. My network designed to go head-to-head with any enterprise-class network:


. L2 managed switches

. Win Server 2k8 Datacenter Active Directory, DHCP, DNS

. Win Server 2k8 Datacenter 4TB-effective RAID10 File Server with traveling home directories, IIS Web Server, SQL Server, SSH, WSUS Windows Update Server

. 3 Win Server 2k8 Datacenter Hyper-V hypervisor servers for distributed computation

. OpenSolaris 3TB-effective ZFS file server

. Ubuntu Server OpenVPN server

All nodes are tied to the Active Directory.
