About

Picture
Welcome to my site! I’m Brandon Seymour, and I currently serve as the Practice Lead – AI Factory at CDW, where I lead the strategy and execution of AI infrastructure solutions that help enterprise organizations modernize, scale, and operationalize real-world AI workloads.

With over 20 years of experience in enterprise IT, my passion lies at the intersection of AI, platform engineering, hybrid cloud, and virtualization. I’ve architected solutions across a wide spectrum—from VMware and Nutanix to GPU-accelerated workloads with NVIDIA, Kubernetes, and MLOps pipelines. My goal is simple: deliver innovative, secure, and scalable architectures that empower customers to unlock the full value of their data and infrastructure.

This blog is a dedicated space for technologists, engineers, and IT leaders who want to stay current on the evolving landscape of virtualization, multi-cloud, and AI platform engineering. Whether I’m breaking down architecture patterns, exploring automation frameworks, or recapping industry events like VMware Explore, this is where I share the insights I’ve gained in the field.

Throughout my career, I’ve believed that great architecture starts with empathy and discovery—deeply understanding customer goals and aligning technology to drive outcomes. I’m also a big believer in mentorship and continuous learning, and I take pride in helping up-and-coming architects grow through structured enablement, open conversations, and community leadership.

Collaboration is at the core of what we do at CDW. I work alongside cross-functional teams—from sales and presales to delivery engineers and OEM partners—to ensure every solution is as executable as it is innovative.

As a proud alumnus of the University of Phoenix, I carry forward the values of perseverance, adaptability, and lifelong learning that shaped my academic journey and continue to influence my professional path.

Merit - University of Maryland
