"About Theodore Arapoglou"
IBM
Partner Technical Specialist
|
|
My name is Theodore Arapoglou - Nice to meet you.
I am based in Washington DC for my current sales
role at IBM. My unique value proposition as a seller is the intersection of my
deep technical knowledge with my business education.
My career in software engineering has led me to build and manage multiple large-scale and
high-impact engineering projects. At Harvard University, I designed and implemented
a cloud system and website to make a high volume of genetic research data available
to the public at high speed and low cost. The novel methods I implemented in data
management and compute led me to co-author multiple research publications during
this time. At L3Harris, I managed and built core components for projects in cloud
research, cellular networks, and international security.
This professional engineering experience, combined with my recent MBA from UCLA,
empower my ability to understand and address my customers' business needs. I have
first-hand experience with not only implementing novel technology, but also how it
can impact multiple parts of a business – such as finances, scheduling, staffing,
and offerings. This experience also extends across multiple business
areas – including research, defense, public, private, and international.
Please feel free to reach out at me on LinkedIn to learn more. I look forward
to hearing from you.

Hey there! - I'm Brett, and it's a pleasure to meet you!
Let me share a bit about myself: I currently live in Atlanta and I'm a dog dad to a Bernedoodle named Guinness.
I graduated from Florida State University (Go Noles!) in Mechanical Engineering.
Its also where I created Barbot, a robotic bartender that enjoyed viral success and
snagged an award on PBS's version of Shark Tank!
My continuing my goal is to empower the next wave of engineering talent. By leveraging the
expertise of seasoned professionals, I aim to streamline the learning process for
future engineers. You'll find my comprehensive tutorials on mine within
the How-to Videos section
of ABS's website or on my YouTube Channel.
They're designed to help engineers and organizations develop
and polish their own processes.
Education, for me, is about openness and accessibility. That's why I offer these
tutorials for free, continuously update my site with fresh content, and curate a
monthly newsletter packed with insights and tips.
I won't claim to know everything, but I'm part of a fantastic network of experts,
and more often than not, I can point you in the right direction. If you ever have
a question or need a bit of guidance, don't hesitate to get in touch!
Join me and others in the 'Build with Brett' Discussion Group in the ABS Community Forum where we discuss DevOps and SCM related articles and ideas.
"Feel free to speak to me about anything IBM. I can guide you to information about IBM
software products and help you find free whitepapers, tutorials and training or anything else IBM.
I can also help you find your IBM sales rep, schedule technical demos or walk-throughs."

"About Wade Towles"
IBM
Senior AI Applications Specialist

Hi - Thanks for taking a minute to get to know me, and what I bring to the table!
First, I've been working in the tech field for a long time - and I've seen and helped implement a
lot of changes over the years. My most recent certification is as an AWS Certified Cloud
Practitioner, but I have achieved certifications in a bunch of tools, including SAFe, Windows,
the IBM JAZZ (Engineering) tools, and Novell way back in the day... I'm a huge believer in always
learning - I'm currently working on getting my IBM Cloud certifications, but I'm also looking into
a number of other technologies as well, including RedHat OpenShift, IBM Food Trust and others.
There's SO MUCH to learn out there!
My customers all know that I am dedicated to their success - they all have my personal cell phone
number, and I often get calls "out of the blue" for help with something at the spur of the
moment. And that's ok – that's why I give them the number. While I don't have all the answers
to all the questions, what I CAN do is bring together the right people to help solve the
challenge at hand. I know that IBM is a big organization, with a LOT of data out there on
the web. A Google search is great, but sometimes the volume of data returned can be daunting.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you're having trouble finding an answer, and if I
can't help you right away, I'm sure I can help connect you to the right resource.
Other stuff that I put in my resume - I have a broad technical knowledge combined with outstanding
leadership ability and creative problem-solving skills. I'm an Analytic and creative individual
with experience in matching software and process solutions to Business Stakeholder needs. I'm an
excellent verbal and written communicator, able to document and explain complex concepts and
processes to non-technical individuals at all levels. I have built and led diverse geographically
distributed teams to satisfy a wide range of customer technical needs, and I have both
professional and personal contacts around the world with whom I communicate regularly.
Finally, for the last few years I have:
|
Enabled, updated, enhanced and created Collaborative Lifecycle Management Environments for customers using on-prem middleware and hosts and / or Cloud based hosts in AWS. |
|
Assisted customers with LDAP, Active Directory, DNS, Firewall and SSL configuration as related to their CLM setup |
|
Created and supported AWS Training, Demo and Customer POC Environments including Servers, Workspaces and Backups |
|
Created Virtual Sandbox environments to enable resolution of complex customer scenarios. |
|
Demonstrated the CLM Tools' end-to-end integrations at a high level. |
I've created a few How-To videos and shared them on my
YouTube playlist
or you can access those and others at
the How-to Videos page at the
ABS Site.
