Laboratory Research manager for the Computer Science and Information Management Program, School of Engineering and Technology, Asian Institute of Technology.

Administration of the department facilities in a virtualized multi-systems and multi-vendors environment, including unix, MS windows and Mac OS.

Services offered to the students in the laboratory are articulated around two facilities: a virtual server where the students can install and test some virtual machines, this virtual server is fully integrated with CSIM global authentication system through a newly added Active Directory server. Perviously, students were allocated physical individual machines whenever they needed a test server; this used to pose a number of managment problems.

The second facility comprise twenty six individual computers installed in the laboratory. Lately I have redesigned the set of operating system and software installed on these computers to be more open source oriented, giving priority to Linux over MS Windows; in the future, Windows should be made available only as a virtual system inside Linux.
