Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Little is a systems architect and administrator with over a decade of experience designing and operating IBM Power/AIX estates and Intersystems Caché database environments. He specializes in transforming monolithic, hand-managed systems into automated, resilient infrastructure—often building custom backup, cleanup, and migration tooling from scratch. At Sonic Healthcare he led large-scale AIX migrations, V7000 storage implementations and system-wide firmware/software upgrades across multi-site POWER deployments. Obsessed with automation, he is actively developing Ansible roles and Python utilities to drive observability and reduce manual toil, aiming to “automate himself out of a job.” Based in Sydney, he blends deep legacy platform expertise with modern DevOps practices and a practical knack for pragmatic scripting. A curious tinkerer by nature, he’s as comfortable architecting enterprise storage as he is breaking toys to learn how they work.
