Assisted in developing process for migrating to AWS.Wrote scripts in Bash, Python and Perl.Developed Ansible and Terraform automation.Assisted with migrating on-prem email mailboxes to Outlook and Gmail.Migrated servers from RHEL/CentOS 7 to RHEL/Rocky 9Tested and deployed AV on Linux serversInvestigated and mitigated security vulnerabilities identified by security team

Maintain variety of automation processes, primarily focused on building servers – Windows, RHEL and SolarisUse a variety of automation tools including OpenText (previously Microfocus) Operations Orchestration, OpenText Server Automation, Jenkins, Ansible, and TerraformBuild/maintain servers in both VMWare and AWSDeployed patches, largely via automation, to servers on a regular scheduleConfigure RBAC for various departments/teams/servers in AWSParticipate in regular on-call rotation to provide support to other teamsLead stand-up meetings during on-call rotationWork with my team to create and estimate tasks for sprints as well as develop requirements for larger epicsWrite documentation for both our team and other teams to usePrepare and present periodic demonstrations of work, both for my team as well as broader IT

Set up a largely unattended installation and automated configuration of Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 desktops/laptops, using a combination of Cubic/DebianInstaller for unattended installation, Redhat IDM for identity management, and Puppet for configuration managementSet up and managed several RHEL servers, primarily puppet replicas and package mirrors in both test and production environments. Configured and tested restricted role-based access controls on IdM test servers and assisted in porting them to production servers.Developed security controls based on best practices and CIS benchmarks and deployed/enforced them via puppet, along with configurations for a variety of software including teams, anyconnect, and docker as well as things such like certificates for network, VPN and MCAS authentication.Maintained code using azure devops/git with code review for pull requests into master branches along with basic test cases where possible.

Built websites as an independent contractor for a few clients in northern Wisconsin.Built a few java applications, mostly centered around printing.Managed projects from start to finish.Worked with clients to determine requirements, report prgress and work through feedback.Developed unit tests to ensure new changes wouldn’t break existing functionality.Provide periodic maintenance as needed – on-going today.

Monitored client network traffic, logs and virus scans for potential threats and intrusion attempts. Built and maintained Windows and Linux servers for Suricata, Splunk, and a Windows Certificate Authority among others. Also wrote automated build scripts to easily deploy and update Suricata and Splunk for new clients.

Worked as part of a small agile development team which in turn was part of a larger team to build and maintain a custom C# web framework for K-12 school administration.

Maintained security of sensitive data on network and monitored traffic for potential threat. Maintained and built variety of both Windows and Linux servers including Snort IDS, Shibboleth, Syslog, Saltstack. Wrote a variety of powershell and bash scripts as well as Java and C# programs. Trained new security analysts our proceedures and how to both rebuild and maintain our servers and programs.

I did independent work for some local companies and organizations, mostly Bowens Bus Service. This included simple web development, general tech support and writing a handful of Java programs (mostly for printing)
