About
I have a certain set of skills. I just wish I knew what they were…
Professional
Been a tech monkey since I was in middle school (and even earlier) rocking the computers since Timex Sinclair 1000, Commodore C64 and really starting with an IBM PCjr that I got from my uncle who used to work at IBM (and juiced it up a little).
Then thru the PC XT, AT, 386 all the way to today, where I have to admit I’m a bit of a Mac-head, but heavily a Linux user (RHEL/Centos, Ubuntu). Started as a Help Desk Analyst, bumped to Jr Programmer (Windows/Access/Visual Basic); evolved to Sr Programmer Analyst in Java tools and part time DBA (SQL Server and DB2 Windows); jumped to SDLC tooling engineer and release management; starting doing DevOps before it was a buzzword and automating all the things with “everything-as-code”; now a devops/platform engineer with skills in Agile processes, Atlassian tooling, skills in training and workshops, and helping clients get to where they want and need to go.
