Our team of skilled engineers heavily collaborate with numerous internal and external teams to manage the daily challenges of operating a critical data center. My team adapts new technologies and processes routinely to provide a greater service to our customers while driving down costs in the operation. From piloting our own drone aircraft to designing and integrating new automation processes, we enjoy being part of the work more than watching from the sidelines. Our team is internally driven to innovate and prove that today was good, but tomorrow we will do better.
