I have a hunger to learn, and to expand my knowledge.
This has led me from a novice in computers to Linux Admin for a large cloud provider, all the way to a DevOps engineer for a world-class Software Development team.
To say that automation and Linux are passions would be to put it mildly.
Led the design, deployment, and operations of bare-metal Kubernetes clusters in on-premises environments, establishing the organization’s container orchestration platform
Migrated existing Docker-based services into Kubernetes, improving deployment consistency, service resilience, and operational scalability
Architected and managed on-premises infrastructure, including networking, firewall configuration, and security controls supporting production workloads
Planned and executed data center hardware deployments, including server provisioning, capacity planning, and infrastructure lifecycle management
Built and maintained Linux KVM virtualization environments, provisioning and managing virtual machines that supported the Kubernetes platform and supporting services
Designed and implemented on-premises network architecture, including planning, installation, configuration, and ongoing management of Cisco switching/routing infrastructure and Meraki mesh wireless networks
Designed cluster networking and infrastructure integration to support reliable service communication across on-prem environments
Partnered with engineering teams to modernize application deployment workflows and improve operational reliability across services
