Nice to meet you!
Hey Connecticut PUG members! I want to introduce myself. I'm a Field Solutions Architect who specializes in virtualization integrations, such as hypervisors, as they pertain to Pure Storage. I don't live in Connecticut, but I'm not far. I'm up in southern New Hampshire. Before I came to Pure I held several roles across multiple organizations including, system architecture and design, storage infrastructure, backup infrastructure and security technologies. While I miss my days as a customer, I'm excited to be at Pure talking about our technologies to help make your lives simpler. There are many of us at Pure that live in the region. So, as we get ready to announce our first PUG in July I hope to see you and I promise to bring along some local Pure folks for you to meet. In the region we can cover a bunch of topics ranging from cyber resilience, AI, unstructured data, databases (SAP, MS SQL, Oracle, etc.), cloud, automation and many more. I hope to see you soon.Boston PUG - August 21, 2025
