Leading a Storage Migration Team in a Regulated Banking Environment

Situation

A major bank needed complex storage reclamation and migration work carried out in a regulated, audited environment where errors carry real operational and compliance risk.

Action

Served as technical lead over a team of five NetApp engineers deploying new storage infrastructure across enterprise data centers. Built automation using Perl, Bash, and NetApp SDKs to convert storage configuration data into migration documentation via ETL, replacing a manual, error-prone process.

Result

Delivered the migration and reclamation work at scale, across FC, iSCSI, and NAS storage architectures, while leading a five-person engineering team.

Skills demonstrated

Pairing people leadership with a bias toward automating repetitive, risk-prone manual work — a pattern that recurs later in the Lowe's and ERCToday engagements.
