Dynamic technologist involved in E-commerce development and infrastructure design before E-commerce was a well known term. Designed and architected systems from DOS/Windows and modems, in 1994, through the first Peapod web site using C++ and ODBC in 1997. Transitioning to Java and application servers in 2001. Designed and architected the hardware / server platform that supports 35 million web hits and approximately 500,000 items purchased every day. Implemented highly efficient systems using state of the art technologies to get more bang for the buck. Worked closely with vendors to design and implement systems for high volume, each pick, in modern automated warehouses. Go-getter that thinks outside the box while understanding when to use the latest technologies and when to hold back.

Director Internet Technology @ 2003 - 20015 Built strong teams of open system engineers and Windows engineers that support the web infrastructure for peapod.com. This includes web servers, application servers, and database servers. We use an agile process for project management using Jira for Scrum and Kanban boards. These teams also manage mail systems, internal picking systems for warehouse management systems, and servers that support Peapod's e-commerce infrastructure. * Instrumental in vetting vendors and implementing a dynamic SAN solution based on EqualLogic disk arrays and Arista switches(Migration path - yr 2000 EMC, yr 2002 XioTech, yr 2005 Hitachi / EqualLogic, 2008-2015 2 EqualLogic arrays to 14 arrays in multiple "clusters"​ . * Built a VMWare environment of 19 physical servers hosting over 500 virtual servers in multiple locations. Currently on VMWare 5.5. * Instrumental in designing and implementing multiple web platforms using an extremely minimal amount of servers(Load Balancers, Web, Application, Database) yet being performant and and maintaining business continuity during equipment failure. * Took the initiative to build an efficient 76TB Hadoop cluster to store approximately 15GB of web logs per day. The cluster is built on a SmartOS based private cloud architecture that can easily be moved to Joyent's public cloud. Director Web Site Architecture 2000 - 2003 Invited back to Peapod to architect the second version, and still core part, of the peapod.com web site. The web site is programmed in Java running on an e-commerce platform. The design patterns involved were chosen to ensure the site performed in an efficient manner. Senior Software Architect 1994 - 2000 Architected, managed and developed the first Peapod E-Commerce web site. Supported by an external consulting company that provided developers and site designers. The founder of Peapod needed this project to be completed without impacting internal employee resources. The site was delivered in less than 10 months. From 1994 to Present (21 years) Greater Chicago AreaSenior Software Engineer @ Briefly worked for agency.com. After five months I was invited back to Peapod as Director of Internet Architecture to supervise the development of the next generation of peapod.com. From March 2000 to August 2000 (6 months) Greater Chicago Area
