Assessed and documented present infrastructure environment for a Canadian marketing company. Suggested and implemented changes to database and web application architectures. The present architecture comprised several applications using one database. Separated the table structure in a way, that each application system where using its own database, significantly improving performance, reliability and recoverability. All applications, in a three tier system, were running in the same host and same JVM environment. Separated each Websphere application to run its own JVM, thereby improving application stability and portability to other hosts. Implement consistent backup and recovery across all database platforms (DB2/Linux, MS SQL/Windows). Connected Linux systems to Tivoli backup process.

·	Troubleshoot CRM applications’ performance. Windows OS, MS SQL database monitoring, network  monitoring (Ethereal) and application code dissemination were examples of  tasks  performed to establish where bottlenecks occurred and to rectify the problems.

·

Led infrastructure team (5 people). Tasks comprised of delegating, supporting and planning daily activities, including the implementation of IBM DS4300 SAN (5 Terra byte), migration of VMWare to a clustered fail-over environment using the SAN. Other tasks included: training the infrastructure team to plan activities and not to jump on every request, thereby improving deliverables; interacting with the development team to better understand implementation and support of applications; and articipating in establishing a change management system
