Episode 3 – Richard Faulkner

 

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Richard Faulkner with Ferroque Systems. Richard is a Solutions Architect with an extensive career in technology by way of being a Nuclear Engineer with the US Navy.

We had an enjoyable conversation talking about Solution Architecture, Nuclear Engineering, Nuclear Power, and automation of Citrix NetScaler with Terraform/Ansible. I am very happy with the third episode; each episode is building on the next and as I get looser behind the mic, I am feeling more comfortable with talking and doing the interviews.

Rich was the first person I interviewed that I did not have a previous relationship with which makes this episode a milestone for me in getting out of my comfort zone.

Thank you, Rich, for coming on to the show and giving some great advice about being a Solutions Architect and educating aspiring SA’s in the skills they need for the role.

I am immensely proud and happy with the work done over the course of the last six weeks with the recording of the first three episodes. Owen Renolds, Sam Jacobs, and Rich Faulkner have made it a success. With the first two episodes we have had over 287 downloads in over 56 cities and 28 countries around the globe.

Next week I will be sitting down with Solutions Architect Chris Chinault, an incredibly old friend of mine from my early technology days in Florida. I have known Chris for over 25 years, and I am really looking forward to catching up on the podcast.
