I am passionate about open source and Linux. I believe technology should work to make our livesbetter not frustrating and complex. Throughout my career I have seen so many projects and technologysolutions fail completely or drastically short of success. Several of these we said to be impossibleproblems to solve, yet every one I have had the opportunity to assist with has ended with successes. Ifyou don't have time to do it right the first time,I mentor, train, and share my depth of knowledge with my peers and colleges because I believe hordingknowledge does not achieve anything including job security, while sharing knowledge only increaseseveryone's skill level and brings added susses to all.Assisted businesses to create maintainable and automated systems and processes to drive theirbusiness using Linux and opensource software. Use Linux, opensource tools and software as well asvirtualization in docker, azure, vCenter/ESXi, AWS, and proxmox to provided solutions to technicalbusiness problems.My IT philosophy1) I don't believe in problems, only solutions. I don't believe something can not be done. It is usually a limit of your/my knowledge or a limitation of the tools you are using. I can always learn more and I usually can find creating solutions around the limitations of my tools.2) I attach problems the way you eat an elephant, one piece at a time. Cliche, but I believe this and approach most problems with this mindset. Breaking it up into smaller an more manageable pieces.3) Testing and automation are essential to growth, expansion of any business as well as deliveringexceptions solutions in IT. Some of the other IT philosophies I follow are: The Unix way (do one thingand do it well), Fail fast fail often, code twice (once to test it and the second time to automate), be DRY(Do not repeat yourself), be an never nester (refactor), and document clearly enough that you canunderstand what and why you did something a year or more in the future.

Built a custom precision GIS/GPS application for a $50 million custom edge disruptive application alllowing from sub meter accuracy. I used the GPS data to make rotates which was one of the many unique creations the patent application included in the product that was created. Coded the logic to gather precise GPS nmae data parsed from GPS data to gather and verify data mainly for construction site safety and accuracy. This was also looked at by the DOH and TSA for mapping the oil pipelines and managing secure areas for TSA in airports and other travel hubs.Built, configured, and managed the: code repository, bug tracking system, development environment, development server and the build process for the GIP/GPS application. The first version of the application was used for the proofs required for the patent applications.
