  • @jjake_mctigue
  • Visionary Cloud-smith, Architect, Strategist, Engineer, Integrator, Consultant, Analyst, Project Manager, Copywriter. I'm an Innovator, Creative Storyteller, & Life Long Learner. Currently working part time at McTigue Analytics due to a stroke.

A technologist by blood, I'm personable, client facing, strong in sales, logical, unafraid to speak my mind, decisive, and produce my best work under pressure. I am curious about everything and pragmatic to a fault. Once I start something, I always finish it.


Most recently I've:


〈 Worked extensively with VMware vSphere 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7 and 8 on diverse projects including consolidation, automation, hybrid cloud.

〈 Served thousands of applications seamlessly using XenApp and MS RDS, securely and reliably.

〈 Planned, architected and migrated numerous application migrations using AWS, Google App Engine, Photon and CoreOS, structured and integrated them with Ansible, Kubernetes, Docker, Openstack, Redis and Lambda.

〈 Utilized all of the Hashicorp suite, especially Nomad, Consul, Terraform and Vault together with Kubernetes or Salt to implement scalable, self-healing application systems.

〈 Automated data flows, generated alerts, reacted to errors with scripting composed in Perl, Shell, Python, Powershell, Chef, Salt, Go & Hack.

〈 Designed, architected and implemented custom Linux based solutions on all major distributions.

〈 Worked extensively in financial, legal, health, manufacturing, construction, law enforcement.

〈 Built numerous application integrations leveraging RESTFUL API services.

〈 Deployed numerous OpenStack environments, integrated many with VMware, HyperV and OpenVZ.

〈 Forged careful alliances with the best vendors, enabling me to provide my customers with exclusive "best of breed solutions."

〈 Closed over $120,000 in new business in 2014 alone.

〈 Aggressively handled client projects, managing vendors, materials, due dates and deliverables in such a way that I generally realized at least a 30% savings if not 55%.

〈 Continued working with my core competencies of Windows Server System 2000-2025 ALL PRODUCTS. Citrix (All products). VMware (All products version 2.0 and up.) and All manner of public, private, hybrid and semi-hybrid cloud including PAAS, IAAS, SAAS.
