I automate processes because I don't want to do them again - is the philosophy Frederic has lived by for over 25 years. In the data center, he is an expert at turning operational obstacles into seamless, automated workflows. At home, he is an IoT enthusiast who designed a smart ecosystem where the roof and lighting systems adapt automatically to the weather. For Frederic, technology isn’t just a job; it’s a way to simplify life and clear the path for creativity.

Moore & Van Allen

Lewis’ confidence in Rubrik was shaped by a working partnership. As an early adopter in 2014, he faced a critical challenge while transitioning from Avamar. In response, Rubrik’s engineering team didn’t just offer support - they visited his office to write the necessary NDMP code alongside him. That practical, face-to-face problem solving established the baseline for his long-term trust in the platform.

That experience ignited a deep curiosity for technology and sparked his lifelong motto: if you break it, fix itKevin started his career at a small hometown ISP, where he learnt tech support and gained hands-on exposure to networking, PCI compliance, and datacenter management. He later brought his problem-solving skills to Higher Education, seeing it as an exciting opportunity to invest in technology and make a real difference.
