Part of a team that is moving Digi towards redefining its Infrastructure as code, leveraging current IaaS/PaaS solutions, creating tooling and automation endpoints to move in that direction. Working towards streamlining current processes and eliminate technical debt where possible. Primary focus is on-premise Office 365 deployment and integration with current systems, building a modular framework for system changes and workflows. A VMware vCenter HW and system refresh, has opened up the opportunity to build API/dashboard driven interface, leveraging our WINfrastructure and Foreman for a single point of entry - allowing for more secure consistent, and scalable operations.
