Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Willis is a seasoned IT architect with over a decade leading enterprise infrastructure as Chief Architect for Information Technology at Texas A&M Agrilife, designing and operating multi-site Windows, macOS, and Linux server platforms for thousands of daily users across Texas. A Linux evangelist since 1991 and an early Red Hat Certified Engineer (first class, 1997), he combines deep hands-on skills with systems design—VMware, KVM, AD, network routing/switching, disaster recovery and centralized authentication—across both physical and virtual environments. He previously developed data center management and deployment tooling at Hewlett-Packard, bringing software development experience in C/C++, Java, Python and PHP to infrastructure problems. John pairs an engineering degree in Ocean Engineering with practical cross-platform fluency—workstation Windows, server Linux, macOS media facilities and mobile device support—and a long-standing commitment to mentoring staff and operational diligence. An unstated strength is his knack for reliably translating research and extension requirements into resilient, auditable service platforms that span geographically dispersed teams and sites.
