Julian is a Pure Solutions Architect covering Microsoft and Kubernetes based solutions. Over the last 20+ years his career has run the gamut from professional services, pre-sales systems engineering, and finally to technical marketing for industry stalwarts including Sun Microsystems, NetApp, Nimble Storage, and HPE. Outside of work, he can usually be found either in the garage swearing at project cars or in the sky piloting what looks suspiciously like a flying lawn chair. He resides in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina with his wife Barb, their three daughters, and one very spoiled puppy.
