Long story short

I write about infrastructure.

For much of my career, that meant storage, virtualization, VMware, servers, and enterprise systems. Today, that same journey has expanded into GPU computing, AI infrastructure, modern data centers, and advanced cooling technologies.

This blog is where I document what I learn along the way.

About me

Hi, I’m Juan Mulford.

I am an infrastructure-focused technology professional with more than 15 years of experience across networking, enterprise storage, virtualization, data center systems, and AI infrastructure.

My career started in telecommunications, networking, and systems operations. After moving to Taiwan in 2012, much of my work became focused on enterprise storage, VMware virtualization, VDI, solution architecture, benchmarking, and the integration of complex infrastructure platforms.

Over the years, that work naturally evolved toward broader data center technologies. Today, my professional focus includes GPU computing, AI infrastructure, scalable server platforms, liquid cooling, and the technologies required to build modern AI-ready data centers.

I have always enjoyed going beyond product specifications to understand how technologies actually work together, how they perform, where their limitations are, and how they can be applied to real-world infrastructure challenges.

That is also the purpose of this blog.

Some posts are deep technical explorations. Others are troubleshooting notes, benchmarks, observations, tutorials, or lessons learned while working with different technologies. The subjects may change as the industry evolves, but the common theme remains infrastructure.

Throughout my career, I have also spent a significant amount of time creating technical content, conducting benchmarks and proof-of-concepts, developing reference solutions, and explaining complex technologies to technical and business audiences.

After spending more than a decade in Taiwan, I relocated to the United States, where I continue working in the data center and AI infrastructure industry.

This site is my personal space to document that journey, share what I learn, and occasionally revisit technologies that helped shape it.

Thanks for visiting.
