Résumé

Current Position, from January 27th, 2014 - current

Senior Systems Engineer - Viddler

Viddler is a video hosting company that specializes in corporate training solutions, incorporating the company's patented technology to provide video- and audio-based instruction, scenario-based practice exercises, and context-aware performance feedback. Viddler is based in Bethlehem, PA, in the beautiful Lehigh Valley. It has been a challenging and rewarding journey so far, and for me has become one of those jobs where you look around the room and realize that this group has become family.

Also, I get to do my favorite things here - build stuff, break stuff, and fix stuff!

Previous Positions

Systems Administrator - Redbox Instant November 2012 - March 2014

Redbox Instant, no longer in business, was a streaming video Netflix competitor. Working in the Ops department, I was part of a team that was responsible for the uptime of a high availability, cloud based SaaS. Redbox Instant, or RBI, as we called it, was a project that involved Verizon and Redbox, with Tekmark providing operational support. RBI was a half a billion dollar project - I have to say, I'm still surprised they pulled the plug without getting any return on their investment. I actually thought they had a pretty good hook, with all the Redbox kiosks around the country.
