Background

About Gary Edwards

I'm looking for a challenging environment that will allow me to utilize my experience in working with and building a successful team. If you think I am a good fit, feel free to reach out and contact me. I'm currently contracting at the Office of Personnel Management and have been one of their Intune Architects / Administrators for the past 18 months. I have developed their Autopilot processes and have successfully rolled it out throughout their environment. OPM has been fully tasked with a sprint to the cloud and we have been successful in the implementation. Previously I was at 1E, Inc for over 7 years and was one of their Senior Solutions Engineer over the Enterprise Accounts and the Federal space. I worked with their Enterprise customers in optimizing their End-Point Management Solutions, as well as assist with their EDR work to secure their environment. I was a Senior Enterprise Architect and a Global Solution Cell Architect leading a worldwide rollout of the Global Solutioning Cell within Hewlett-Packard's OneBuild initiative. This process has me traveling to different global regions and standing up Solutioning teams to assist the streamlining process of evaluating, designing, and costing engagements for HP's worldwide customers. My own area of expertise has been specializing in Virtualization, Mobility solutions, Security structures, VMware and Citrix VDI environments, as well as all flavors of Microsoft technologies.(System Center, Win 7/8 migrations, Exchange, AD, etc.) In the Solution Cell role, I have been involved with all aspects of the IT industry, from SAN/BUR, Networking, Data Center Migrations, etc. All of these technologies are critical in building out the parameters that the Solution Cell framework helps streamline. My forte is designing a solution and explaining the solution, in simple straightforward (non-geek speak) language. I specialize in Pre-Sales exploration, as well as workshop collaboration seminars, to help drive business and deliver stable technologies to our customers. I've been a Project Manager, Team Lead, Department Manager, as well as a Subject Matter Expert in my different roles for many different companies. Specialties: Microsoft, Virtualization, Cloud and Mobility architectures
