Bridge the estate
I work across VMware and AWS rather than treating migration as a handoff. Production ownership continues while systems move.
Infrastructure Team Lead · Windows Server + AWS Hybrid Cloud
Jason Adams
I lead a Windows Server infrastructure team at Tyler Technologies, managing 1,100+ servers and 18 AWS accounts for state, federal, and international government platforms. I work at the bridge between the VMware estate and the cloud it is moving to: operations, migrations, patching, mail security, DR, and the leadership work that keeps the whole thing moving.

What I Am Looking For
Infrastructure leadership and senior engineering work where hybrid systems matter: Windows Server fleets, AWS operations, cloud migration, patch and vulnerability programs, DR, email security, and teams that need calm operational judgment.
