Hello, Brandon Lee here – I have been in the IT industry for over 22+ years now and have worked in various IT fields – mom and pop shops, education, manufacturing, and Fortune 500 companies, including consulting for various technology organizations.  Technology is ever-changing and with new products, hardware, and software on the horizon.  There is a constant need for trained individuals to configure, troubleshoot, engineer, and architect solutions.  The challenge of staying on top of the latest trends in technology and mastering ways to harness the increasing power of software and hardware is fascinating to me.

After being introduced to Virtualization in 2004, my passion for technology and virtualization has fueled my career since then. Virtualizationhowto.com was born to share knowledge that has so willingly been given to me over the years. The information compiled on this site has been gathered from various real-world experiences as related to on-the-job projects.

Passions

One of the types of content I produce a lot of is content around home lab environments and learning new things. Since building my first home lab around 10 years ago, I haven’t looked back since then. It has been a tremendous journey being able to learn new technologies and transition from the traditional virtualized environment technologies to more modern technologies, including containers and Kubernetes.

Experience

My journey into the realm of virtualization began over a decade ago, fueled by a passion for technology and a curiosity about learning new things. Starting as an IT enthusiast, I dedicated myself in various virtualization technologies, being a full-time network administrator and VMware vSphere admin for 10 years or so, before moving into a more DevOps and architect role. In these I discovered my unique specialty in creating practical, easy-to-understand guides and tutorials for users at all levels.

Throughout my content creating career, I’ve authored thousands of blog posts and articles, sharing my expertise and experience across numerous platforms. This journey has allowed me to sharpen my skills and develop a thorough understanding of the challenges faced by both new and seasoned IT professionals.

Expertise

With years of hands-on experience, I have acquired expertise in virtualization, networking, cloud solutions, and home lab setups. My professional milestones include being recognized as a 7-time VMware vExpert, which displays my commitment to sharing knowledge and contributing to the community.

I hold certifications in various virtualization technologies and have worked with numerous organizations to implement effective IT solutions. My goal is to empower others with the knowledge Iโ€™ve gained, making complex topics understandable and easy to take advantage of for everyone.
