Welcome!

Welcome anyone who has managed to discover this!

I'm currently a Solutions Architect with VMware, formerly a VMware specialist with F5 Networks, and prior to that a channel SE dealing with both plus Cisco and NetApp.
I want to share some of my Evernotes, partially selfishly, so I can get at them from anywhere on the web, but hopefully there's some useful nuggets for others too if Google does it's thing.  I expect them to predominantly be notes that will be updated periodically rather than static posts, as I add commands / tips to them as I go.

This is my first attempt at personal blogging, though I've done some professionally before, while at F5 to share information on the F5 plug-in for vCenter (now vRealize) Orchestrator:

https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/vmware-orchestrator-plug-in-version-20

This is still a subject dear to my heart, and there's now the option of using the VMware Dynamic Types plug-in to talk to the F5 REST API rather than using the, still unsupported, F5 provided plug-in.

I'm now on the team that writes and delivers the internal LiVefire training classes - which are intensive classes on all things Software Defined Data Center, especially the integration of it all rather than the products individually.  As a Cisco / F5 Network head, NSX tends to be my focus, but I touch everything else too on the SDDC side at least.

I'm also a bit of a certification collector, with a bunch of Cisco and VMware ones so far, and will share some of that process too.  CCIE especially has proven valuable to me, and I'm still pursuing VCDX - both also have multiple streams so there's a bunch of stuff to discuss there.
