I am a Linux engineer utilizing my Linux skills to keep the lights on. I have other professional experience spending time as a Cloud and Devops Engineer & Software Engineer where I led critical incident response operations, continuous integration and devliery efforts on-premise and in the cloud, and helped automated standard opeartional practices and multiple businesses.
When im not chasing my daughter around I spend my free time learning C and kernel development, playing video games, traveling, or sharpening my Python, Ansible, or automation skills. My goal is to start submitting patches to the Linux kernel and ensure that my future work allows me to work in a full Linux environment, we will see how close I can get from using a windows or osX based machine for work soon enough.
