PO Box 2875 Cypress, TX 77410-2875 http://www.hp.com http://www.dkbryant.com/ https://www.facebook.com/dkbryant At my core, Im a problem solver. I have been my whole life. What some see as unachievable, hit me as puzzles to unwind. I truly believe that few things are impossible given proper hardware software and people, it simply becomes a matter of how best to achieve your solution. Creating, joining and diagnosing complex systems has provided me a great depth of expertise and technical intuition. Ive introduced key features to our Server line including USB Boot, WMI management, headless server optimization, powershell integration, and many more. As a Windows Kernel developers at HP, I work to bring new new hardware architectures and Windows Kernel revision in line. These often required changes to PCI capabilities, core kernel code, or both. I have worked to build, mentor, motivate and challenge new teams to recognize solutions and drive to innovation. Specialties: Windows Kernel, PCIe, Powershell, USB, NAND storage, IPMI, C, C++, C#, embedded systems, low level interfaces.
