Globix LtdSenior Solutions Architect
Jan. 2001 - Oct. 2006London, United KingdomIt was in this role that I developed my full potential as a Solution Architect, covering both a broad range of technologies and in depth customer engagement. Over this period of 5 years we saw a lot of maturity coming into the Internet Architecture practice, due to the .com crash greatly increasing the competition in the marketplace. By the time I left, my position was lead consultant and head of professional services (team of 4). The reason I left was the buyout by Telecity Group which meant the focus shifted away from hosting to Colocation.
