Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaymond Burkholder is a Solution Architect with 18+ years designing resilient, automated datacenter and virtualization solutions, combining deep hands-on engineering with strategic architecture. He specializes in open-source stacks—Proxmox, Ceph, Linux FRR/Open vSwitch, nftables and eBPF—and applies automation (Ansible, Salt, Terraform/OpenTofu) and observability (Prometheus, Grafana) to reduce toil and meet SLOs at scale. Raymond helps organizations migrate off VMware into integrated Proxmox/Ceph/LXC platforms and designs monitoring and cost-aware operations for mixed VM, container, and Kubernetes workloads. His background spans embedded C++ and Lua to large-scale networking and storage, and he still contributes trading and IoT projects on GitHub, including a C++17 trading framework that exemplifies his full-stack systems focus. Known for turning complex, multi-team programs into reproducible, documented infrastructure, he favors pragmatic automation and living documentation to make systems both reliable and auditable.
