As an Infrastructure, Security & AI Platform Engineering Leader with more than 25 years of hands-on and strategic experience, I design and lead resilient technology environments spanning enterprise infrastructure, cybersecurity, data centers, disaster recovery, and applied AI.
- Led infrastructure modernization and consolidation that delivered approximately $250,000 in annual operating savings and a 50% reduction in physical footprint.
- Helped transform enterprise security from limited visibility and reactive controls into a layered program incorporating Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, Rapid7, Darktrace, vulnerability management, incident response, and security awareness.
- Architect enterprise compute, storage, virtualization, recovery, and data-center platforms supporting critical 24/7 government services.
- Build and operate private, containerized AI research platforms using vLLM, Ollama, NVIDIA GPUs, retrieval systems, agent frameworks, and supporting data services, with a focus on secure local processing and governed use of frontier providers.
- Apply automation, reproducible deployment practices, CI/CD, monitoring, and disciplined recovery procedures to improve operational reliability and reduce risk.
I combine deep technical experience across Nutanix AHV, VMware, Hyper-V, storage, networking, security operations, and AI infrastructure with leadership responsibility spanning architecture, technical standards, personnel management, procurement, CapEx/OpEx planning, vendor relationships, and major technology programs.
My current work increasingly sits at the intersection of traditional enterprise infrastructure and applied AI. Through independent research at TechSoft Systems, I am developing and evaluating private AI infrastructure and LLMOps, agent systems, AI security, evidence integrity, memory and retrieval architectures, and governance patterns that are now informing an emerging enterprise AI program.
I am seeking opportunities where I can combine hands-on engineering, architecture, technical leadership, cybersecurity, and responsible AI adoption to solve complex infrastructure and platform challenges.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Johnathan W. Carroll
