Employment
Experience
- Windows Azure Infrastructure - Network Route Monitoring
This was a very exciting project written entirely on Windows Azure properties to monitor all of Windows Azure's networking hardware. It features multiple types of mesh network monitoring to ensure general connectivity throughout and between the data centers. It makes use of overlaid SNMP data collected from the networking inventory on top of the monitoring data for purposes of correlating issues.
