For me at all about manageability. I've built, designed, implemented, maintained, and fixed lots of different solutions, all pretty much revolving around internet services. Predominantly the biggest challenge was to keep it simple. That's what business leaders want. Like picking up the phone. The thing is; the devil is in the details. That's where I come in. I know the details. I can address them and translate the implications into terms that can be measured against the bottom line. How do you drive down cost (where are the costs?), increase reliability? remove errors? measure success? and ultimately grow the business. Specialties: People call me the Linux guy, but I know much much more than that.. in fact there's little I have not played with. I don't like not knowing , the result: I learn stuff fast. I've done MS stuff but don't tell anyone. Heck, I even learn C on Macs back in the day.
