 Kevin Gee, at Pellera Technologies, has spent 30+ years strategizing and architecting solutions in POWER, AIX/Linux, storage, and automation.

His vast experience from the keyboard to the whiteboard makes him uniquely qualified to solve hard problems across different disciplines - system architecture, product management, strategy, product engineering services and sales, technical sales, consulting, field support, data science, outsourcing/offshoring, software development and support, training and mentoring, operations, and academic research.

He has broad experience in server and storage infrastructure and performance, system engineering, high availability and disaster recovery, enterprise backup and recovery, and product development and go-to-market strategies.

He writes white papers, IBM Redbooks and cert exams. He presents at tech conferences, and has published original research into AI, machine learning, graph processing, and natural language processing, and reviews publications for the IEEE Journal of Cybernetics. He is an IBM Champion (since 2019) and has too many certifications/badges to list. See www.aixgeek.org.
