Hi! Thank you for reading my blog. I don’t blog very often but I do try to make the posts interesting as they are an extension of my personal thoughts. I don’t have comments enabled, please interact with me through @arielsanchezmor in Twitter!

Here’s my bio in English and Spanish and a picture if you need it. When I attend a community event, it should show up in this calendar and if I promised slides, they most likely will be in my Github VMUG talks repository.

English:

Ariel Sanchez was born in Costa Rica and has lived in USA since 2011. He completed a graduate degree in electronics engineering and quickly found his passion in the world of IT. He had experience in large contact center deployments as NOC staff/supervisor and end user support manager, before finding his calling as system administrator and VMware specialist. He joined VMware in 2017 as a senior Technical Account Manager and has been recognized as an ambassador for the office of the CTO.

He has achieved advanced technical certifications for datacenter and network virtualization but is prouder of being an active participant in the vCommunity since 2014. He’s been recognized as a vExpert PRO for the US and frequently gives community talks at VMUG Usercons. He is particularly proud of being part of the vBrownBag video podcasting crew in both English and Spanish.

He loves Twitter interaction, attending IT user group meetings, discussing home labs, playing table tennis and learning about Japanese culture. He has a soft spot for open source projects such as OpenBSD, Open vSwitch and his collaboration with Edgar Sanchez, vDocumentation. You can find him on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/ariel-sanchez-mora but he would much rather you contact him through twitter https://twitter.com/arielsanchezmor

Ariel Sánchez nació en Costa Rica y ha vivido en Estados Unidos desde el 2011. Completó una licenciatura en ingeniería electrónica y rápidamente se enfocó en TI. Tuvo experiencia trabajando en ambientes financieros y de centros de contacto como empleado y supervisor del NOC y gerente de soporte al usuario, pero se sintió más feliz trabajando como administrador de sistemas y especialista de tecnologías VMware.

Ha alcanzado certificaciones avanzadas para virtualización de centros de datos y redes pero está más orgulloso de ser un participante activo en la vCommunity desde el 2014.
