Scott N. Email & Phone Number

With a rich background in Linux systems administration and infrastructure engineering, I am a dedicated professional who thrives in dynamic IT environments. My journey began with a focus on web technologies, but over the years, I've honed my expertise to specialize in Linux-based systems, particularly Red Hat Enterprise Linux.At TTM, my role has evolved to encompass a wide array of responsibilities. I've architected clusters of virtual machines tailored for CAM environments, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. My passion for automation has led me to develop tools in bash, zsh, and python, streamlining operations and enhancing system efficiency. Leveraging Ansible, I've crafted roles for Red Hat Satellite, further solidifying our infrastructure's robustness.Beyond system administration, I've delved into database technologies, working with MySQL and MariaDB, ensuring data integrity and availability. My experience with NFS/SAMBA has been pivotal in managing development and production data over our network.Being part of a 100% remote IT infrastructure team, I've championed the use and management of collaborative tools like Wekan, wiki.js, GitLab, Confluence, Trello and JIRA, fostering a culture of seamless communication and teamwork.In every role and project, my mantra remains the same: "Whenever it makes sense, automate." This philosophy has not only improved efficiency but has also allowed me to continuously innovate and bring value to the teams I work with.Current Home Lab Project(s) (Yes I tinker for fun):* Used a spare rpi 4b with OctoPi to turn my Ender 3 Pro into a web useable 3d print server* Installed a 10inch capacitive touch screen to said Ender 3 Pro with OctoScreen* Rehabed a Dell PowerEdge r710 to run ProxMox hypervisor so I can spin up VM's on my home network* Created a docker cluster with a stack of RPi 4B's to run apps like Heimdall, OctoPi, NGINX Proxy Manager,Pi-hole DNS, Portainer and DozzlePlanned Future Home Lab Updates:* Wifi 7 Upgrade for UniFi mesh network AP's* Solar panel installations for NEST Cam home security* Self Hosting my own websites via ProxMox and NPM
