Worked for 40 years in the telecommunications and computer industries for GTE, Tandem Computers, Siemens, and am currently the Computer Capacity Planner for the State of Nevada. At GTE I applied my skills to both Data Center Capacity Planning and Digital Switching Traffic Capacity determination. While at Siemens I obtained EU and US patents for a traffic overload control mechanism used in an Advanced Intelligent Network platform and a VoIP switch. State of Nevada responsibilities include Capacity Planning for the IBM Mainframe, a large virtualized Unix environment, and the State’s data network. In addition, I load test new and existing web applications and am the author of several Computer Measurement Group (CMG) technical papers regarding load testing techniques and system performance data analysis methods. I hold BS and MS degrees in Industrial and Systems Engineering from The Ohio State University.
