Managing Technical Consultant, AI Factory Team — CDW
I help enterprise organizations move AI from pilot to production by designing, deploying, and scaling production-grade AI infrastructure built on NVIDIA platforms.
As a member of CDW's AI Factory Team, I work at the intersection of business outcomes and AI infrastructure — translating complex workload requirements into validated, deployable systems. My focus is on helping customers:
- Design AI-ready infrastructure — from GPU clusters and high-performance networking to power, cooling, and data center integration.
- Accelerate time-to-value — by aligning NVIDIA reference architectures with real-world customer environments and operational constraints.
- Scale responsibly — building systems that are performant, supportable, and ready for generative AI, inference, training, and agentic workloads.
The AI Factory Team brings together CDW's technical, supply-chain, and services capabilities so customers can procure, deploy, and operate AI infrastructure faster — and with greater confidence.
I am a NVIDIA SME with deep experience across the NVIDIA AI platform and ecosystem, including:
- NVIDIA DGX, HGX, and certified AI systems
- GPU cluster fabric — InfiniBand, Spectrum-X, and high-speed Ethernet for AI workloads
- NVIDIA AI software stack — CUDA, NVIDIA AI Enterprise, NeMo, NIM, and the NVIDIA Agentic Toolkit
- AI factory reference designs — BasePOD, DGX SuperPOD, and modular, factory-integrated deployment models
I partner closely with NVIDIA and CDW's broader solutions teams to keep our customers on the leading edge of enterprise AI deployment.
- Enterprise AI strategy & architecture — matching the right workload to the right infrastructure.
- Full-stack AI platform deployment — compute, networking, storage, orchestration, and MLOps tooling.
- Operational visibility — GPU utilization, capacity planning, and infrastructure health.
- Cross-functional enablement — helping sales, architecture, and delivery teams speak the same language around AI.
I contribute to projects that improve how organizations build, observe, and operate AI infrastructure, including work with the NVIDIA GPU Usage Monitor and related tooling.
