ABOUT ME
DevOps Engineer/Python Padawan/Vagrant Virtuoso
DevOps Engineer/Python Padawan/Vagrant Virtuoso
Lifelong learner that enjoys a challenge and solving problems. A passion for developer enablement, making it easier for others to build things and get them out into the world. Dynamic technologist with broad experience in system deployments, networking, software development, packaging, installation and management, cellular technologies and systems monitoring and administration. System administration experience with Microsoft and Linux client and server systems, and various open source software packages and software stacks. Currently exploring the cloud via AWS and Azure and container technologies. Other responsibilities have included email administration, account management, DNS/DHCP and internet filtering. I enjoy implementing new technologies and corralling challenging systems and processes and researching open source software that provides support and flexibility to replace proprietary expensive systems locked into a single vendor. Experienced in Windows deployment, Linux deployment, macOS deployment, software deployment, software lifecycle, developer enablement, and miscellaneous BASH/Python/Powershell scripting features to automate repetitive tasks.

I've used git and mercurial version control systems for personal and professional projects and I'm familiar with recovering from most issues with git having run into many of them personally or helping others when they get stuck. I'd highly recommend the CodeSchool Git course as it provides excellent hands on practice with the most commonly used scenarios and workflows.

I don't always write code, but when I do it's usually Python (or Bash). On the projects where I'm using TDD and want the most reliable and quickest development turnaround I use Python and pytest to have readable and reliable code.

If I'm writing a quick script or automating a repetitive task I usually start with Bash (and sometimes add BATS). Once it starts requiring a lot of includes or abusing shell built-ins or requiring network resources I'll switch over to Python.

I assess my client's specific technology needs, and assist clients in realizing the full potential of their existing technology. I also recommend hardware and software suitable for any specific projects that a client has in mind, both inexpensive or open source as well as top of the line and specialized, being mindful of future projects and technologies that may come along and allow for reuse.
