Welcome to vTomBlog.com!
With decades of experience in IT, I’ve had the privilege of navigating the evolution of technology from the ground up. Starting in the pre-internet days as a tech support phone rep, manager, and trainer. I moved off the phones as a NOC manager and then a virtualization engineer, I built the virtualization backbone for a large regional bank before transitioning to health insurance, managing extensive VMware infrastructures. My journey has seen me adopt and master PowerShell, PowerCLI, and various scripting languages, eventually evolving into automation with tools like Ansible, Terraform, and the Ansible Automation Platform (AAP).
Today, I wear many hats, including container and cloud architect, combining my scripting and virtualization expertise to shape scalable and efficient solutions. As a VMUG leader, vExpert, and vExpert Pro, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge with the community and learning from others.
Beyond work, I dive into Raspberry Pi projects, 3D printing, and designing models—some of which you can find on printables.com. Whether you’re here to exchange insights or explore the intersection of tech and creativity, welcome aboard. Let’s innovate together!
