Resume
Professional Summary
Seasoned Linux & Open Source Consultant with 15+ years of experience keeping systems secure, stable, and (mostly) drama-free. RHCE/RHCSA and Puppet Certified , I’ve designed, automated, and maintained infrastructure for enterprises, government, and everyone in between.
Core Strengths
- Infrastructure Mastery: Red Hat, Debian/Ubuntu, KVM/RHEV, clustering, networking
- Automation & Scripting: Puppet, Bash, Perl, Python — if it can be automated, I’ll automate it
- Problem-Solving: From obscure SELinux denials to gnarly production issues
- Training & Mentoring: Making Linux approachable for teams of all skill levels
Approach
I combine deep technical expertise with clear communication and a dash of humor - because IT doesn’t have to be boring. My focus is on building solutions that are robust, secure, and well-documented, so they keep working long after I’m gone.
