Top SchoolDean Powell is a seasoned cloud and infrastructure leader with over 10 years of experience, currently leading the OneCloud Services team at Long View Systems to research, test, and bring cloud services and IaaS offerings to market. He blends deep legacy systems knowledge—from mainframes and COBOL to DB2 and JCL—with modern virtualization, backup, and cloud technologies, and holds EMC storage certification.

His engineering background includes extensive work on large, complex database systems (SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL) and practical scripting in PowerShell, Perl, and Python.

He combines hands-on troubleshooting with a long view on productizing emerging cloud solutions.
