I have 18+ years of experience with Linux operating systems starting with Immunix and Debian Sarge. My first computer was a Windows 3.1 desktop that I quickly broke and my first Linux machine was a hand-me-down, white box Pentium II. Linux has been my desktop OS since 2007 and I have been self-hosting my own "cloud" since 2013. I am experienced in:* automation (airflow, Step Functions, Github Actions, salt, Terraform)* system administration (Amazon Linux, Fedora, Redhat, Solaris, Windows Server)* AWS Cloud (Lambda, Redshift, Glue, IAM, EMR, VPC, EC2, Cloudwatch, S3, SQS, ASG, EKS)* software engineering (Python, BASH, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Kubeflow, Git)* databases (Postgres, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Redis)* analytics (Qliksense, Redash, Athena)* monitoring (Datadog, CloudHealth, Cloudwatch, Pagerduty)* authentication (Cognito, Okta, FreeIPA)I have helped teams apply Agile development practices to fully utilize CI-CD systems.I manage the access and compliance of 150+TB private and identifying information across multiple datasets. This includes usage of this data by several teams and the subsequent products created from it.I’ve worked with and built streaming data systems designed to scale, be fault tolerant, and modular.I’ve developed cost saving plans and usage policies to control “cost spiraling” and infrastructure bloat associated with self serve account usage. I developed a tagging system to accurately track spending per team, project, and user. These measures led to $35,000 in reduced costs per month from a $200,000 monthly spend.I developed a commercial, scalable VPN system designed to obfuscate virtual host activity utilizing docker, Galera, and OpenVPN.
