Summary
Sean Penticoff is an infrastructure-focused Programmer Analyst with 13 years of experience designing, building, and tuning networks, storage, virtualization, and monitoring systems primarily at UCSD's research center. He blends hands-on engineering—wiring, fibers, and datacenter grease—with automation, configuration management and scripting to produce self-documented, self-sustaining research infrastructures. Comfortable across Cisco, VMware, NetApp, Puppet and petascale storage stacks, he repeatedly turns complex research needs into reliable, operable platforms. A pragmatic troubleshooter and “jack of all trades,” he pairs deep operational knowledge with metrics-driven tuning and reporting to keep high-performance environments performing. His background spans military electronics maintenance through enterprise datacenter ops, giving him uncommon breadth from hardware to orchestration.
