I'm currently working OpenStack for the Cloud Servers product at [http://rackspace.com/ Rackspace] in San Antonio, TX.  My main areas of focus:
I work for [http://rackspace.com/ Rackspace] as the Chief Security Architect, but my roots are in system administration and virtualization.  I enjoy [http://rackerhacker.com/ teaching and tinkering] with servers, networking equipment and Android phones.  My previous work was on Rackspace's Cloud Servers product from Slicehost's acquisition to the launch of the OpenStack platform.
