Jim Shank is a Technical Program Manager based in San Jose with 11+ years of hands-on IT and networking experience, currently coordinating large-scale network and facilities deployments at Google. He combines engineering depth—early career roles in NOC engineering, server and SAN architecture, and development in VB.NET, Python, Perl and scripting—with program leadership directing cross-functional teams and multimillion-dollar budgets. Jim has led regional rollouts across dozens of sites, implemented centralized device and monitoring platforms (Casper, Altiris, SolarWinds), and managed infrastructure for thousands of endpoints and dozens of data-center-class servers. His background spans Windows, Unix/Linux, Novell and Cisco networking, and he holds CCNA training that informs his ability to represent network engineering standards to operations and facilities. Known for translating engineering requirements into practical deployment plans, he brings a rare blend of coding-for-automation mindset and large-scale deployment program management. Outside of program work, he’s delivered technical training and developed automation tools early in his career, showing a consistent focus on reducing operational toil.
