Nov. 2020 - Dec. 2021San Isidro, Buenos Aires Province, ArgentinaI manage the company’s Cloud Presence using MS Azure and the links to it’s On Prem Dependencies. I have designed the solution for SAP Cloud using IAAS due to an NFR coming from the Consulting Firm and also designed and stood up the Dev and PROD environments for our AKS (Kubernetes as a Service on Azure) with over 100 pods and over 5 nodes. And using RDS SQL (thanks to a very beneficial pricing deal with MS) and using this Kubernetes as the heart of our Microservices strategy that allows independent growth and rapid elasticity I am implementing several VPNs to different API providers since their are based on Geo Regions that do not benefit from an Express Route approach. I have developed several runbooks to automate actions that were previously tied to manual tasks. And introduced this practice onto our company. I am responsible for the Cloud Team and Lead the Design and Strategy for our trip to the cloud.

Infrastructure Architect
Turner (Turner Broadcasting System, Inc)Infrastructure Architect
Nov. 2017 - Jan. 2020ArgentinaI manage the company’s cloud services on AWS and Azure as well as the on prem integration of these services. My experience in managing Cloud assets goes beyond simple instance and storage management and I have also configured more specific services such as network load balancers and other software defined components. I have developed several improvements for our services that have resulted in a significantly lower monthly cost with the same level of performance and availability. I have developed a great number of migrations to cloud projects using both lift and shift, as well as component based migration. As a POC I designed a solution that using lambda and video transcoding was able to do facial recognition on live feeds 100% cloud based. Using my experience with core components of the AWS service portfolio I created Cloud formation templates that allowed our team to deploy new environments in a matter of minutes both for PAAS as well as IAAS scenarios. I also implemented several improvements for our S3 and EC2 management ( reserved instances, transfer acceleration, encryption, AMI standards, VPC Security) using a combination of Lambda with SNS.

IT Architect
IBMIT Architect
Jun. 2006 - Sep. 2011Provide advisory and lead complex projects for Financial Accounts. I helped the Wintel Team on one of the accounts under my scope to introduce and successfully implement a new way to build their servers which was a win for both parties involved since the customer requested an automated and standardized build and the delivery team requested an automated and unattended build. On another Financial industry account I provided support during the Disaster Recovery Test in order to recover one of the key application servers of the customer. The approach to the DR allowed me to identify and propose a new DR approach to the delivery team which saved a lot of time and eliminated many of the risk factors of the process. I have developed improvement plans and their implementation for large customers such as Insurance Companies, Major Credit Companies and Large Pharmaceutical Laboratories. I also headed the transition of one of the largest virtualization environments to the IBM Virtualization Support Services Team. Including the planning, risk analysis and actual transition of the service. I have participated in many Service Reviews where I used my experience to recommend better approaches to problem determination, problem resolution and the entire Problem management process to both the support team as well as the Account Management team. I am currently engaged as the Technical Solution Manager for the Latin America Region for a Large Pharmaceutical Company. As part of my role I develop Technical Solutions based on the customer's request for Price, and on other type of solutions I take care of the Feasibility Analysis. I use my Consulting/Communication skills to interact with the customer and the other stakeholders of the large projects I work on.
