In this episode of the Nutanix Community Podcast, we sit down with longtime Nutanix Technology Champion and NCX-certified expert Todd Burris - ​@trb48  to talk about what it really means to build smarter.

Todd shares his journey from healthcare IT to mastering Nutanix design at scale — including how he tackled the intense NCX certification process, the power of teamwork and mentorship, and how he’s using APIs and automation to simplify complex operations across global environments.

We also dive into workload availability, validated designs, and the beauty of data-driven decision-making (with a few laughs along the way). Whether you’re an aspiring NCX, a seasoned admin, or just curious how real-world practitioners are innovating with Nutanix, this episode is packed with practical insights and inspiration.
