In my most recent position, I covered the role of DevOps Engineering and creation/maintenance of the delivery pipeline using Jenkins, using both Windows and Linux Jenkins instances.I am currently pursuing a degree in Cyber Operations / Computer Security, studying part time through online studies with Dakota State University with an expected graduation time frame of December, 2022.
