Storage and SAN is where I am most at home. I have run SRDF cutovers inside live change windows, designed dual-site PowerMax and VPLEX Metro, and swapped SAN directors while replication kept running underneath. I have moved whole datacenters for banks, utilities, and government bodies without taking the applications offline. The data and AI work I do now runs on that same foundation — the layer is new, the discipline is not.
How I work
Read the error before you escalate. The answer is usually in the output, not the vendor's queue.
"It runs" and "it's correct" are two different claims. I only ship the second one.
A 30-second guard check beats an unrecoverable fabric at 2am. Every time.
What's on this site
m-khalifa.com is my personal portfolio, including a live AI-twin chat trained on my own career facts — ask it about my background directly. Beyond the portfolio, I maintain a small cluster of practitioner reference sites, each free and ad-free unless otherwise noted:
Cross-vendor storage REST API reference, replication command mapping, SAN engineering tools.
GPU systems, fabrics, storage for training, schedulers, inference infrastructure.
A topic-based path from first principles through GPU systems and distributed training.
Practitioner articles on multi-vendor infrastructure monitoring and replication.
