I'm Volney Douglas — a Senior Principal Engineer at CommScope building the iTRACS platform, where we bring order to the chaos of data center infrastructure through 3D visualization, asset management, and AI-driven automation.
I've spent 25+ years taking complex systems apart and putting them back together better — from U.S. Navy satellite communications (MUOS) and Coast Guard search-and-rescue systems (Rescue 21) at General Dynamics, to managing enterprise data centers for clients like T-Mobile and Disney.
When I'm not engineering infrastructure, I'm probably gardening, traveling, or disassembling something to figure out how it works.
