Domino Thoughts

I'm an IBM Collaboration Software consultant based in southern California. In addition to my "day job" at Best Methods , I've spoken at The View's Admin conferences and written for The View, as well. I also help out with my kids' sports teams as much as possible.

I've worked with Notes and Domino since 1996 with Release 4 (and a little R3), and previous to that was a cc:Mail administrator. As an Domino consultant, I've been involved in all aspects of the Domino administration side, from straight forward administration to domain consolidations, server consolidations, upgrades and migrations.  I've dabbled in some "light" development work for my own enjoyment and use, as well as client management, mail file customization and administration hacks. I've also worked with Sametime and Quickr/Quickplace. I've supported Domino on iSeries and Windows OSes, and have worked with Domino on Linux (Red Hat and SUSE).

From April 2008 to October 2012, I worked at Lotus911/GBS as a Lotus Consultant working on projects merging Domino domains, Domino upgrades, domain name changes, best practices implementation, Sametime implementations and work with IBM Connections. I also provided support to clients on their IBM Collaboration Solutions products.

In October 2012, I joined Best Methods to lead projects implementing collaboration and social business solutions for customers.

In addition to the "pure" Domino work I've done, I have managed a Lotus LMS (an e-learning application written with Websphere and DB2) and LVC (a combo Sametime/Quickplace app) deployment for a large company(>10K users). This was both a great learning experience and a major source of aggravation.
