Managing Technical Consultant, AI Factory Team — CDW
I help enterprise teams plan and implement the transition from AI pilot to production on NVIDIA-based infrastructure, with a focus on systems that are supportable, observable, and aligned to business constraints.
- AI infrastructure strategy and architecture for enterprise workloads
- NVIDIA platform planning across DGX, HGX, and certified AI systems
- GPU cluster design (InfiniBand, Spectrum-X, high-speed Ethernet)
- Full-stack platform planning across compute, networking, storage, orchestration, and operations
- Day-2 readiness: utilization visibility, capacity planning, and operational health
I serve as a subject-matter resource on NVIDIA-based AI infrastructure, including:
- NVIDIA DGX, HGX, and certified AI systems
- GPU cluster fabric: InfiniBand, Spectrum-X, and high-speed Ethernet
- NVIDIA AI software stack: CUDA, NVIDIA AI Enterprise, NeMo, NIM, and the NVIDIA Agentic Toolkit
- AI factory reference designs: BasePOD, DGX SuperPOD, and modular deployment models
I collaborate with NVIDIA and CDW teams where appropriate to align architecture choices with customer requirements, implementation constraints, and operating models.
I work with enterprise teams on initiatives such as:
- Defining target-state architecture for AI platform rollouts
- Mapping workload profiles to infrastructure and network design choices
- Improving operational readiness before scale-out (monitoring, supportability, runbook alignment)
- Enabling cross-functional teams (sales, architecture, delivery) around a shared technical plan
I contribute to tooling and workflows that improve how organizations build and operate AI infrastructure, including NVIDIA GPU usage monitoring-related work.
