I am an experienced System Architect, Platform Engineer, and System Administrator, well-versed in Configuration Management, using tools such as Ansible, Puppet, SaltStack, and Chef, and I'm an experience Multimedia Professional. I have a polyglot of career experience that has been amazing. I have been actively engaged with companies that need both front-end and back-end work. My preference is to work for marketing and media-based companies, but my skills are applicable across a wide range of industries, including Healthcare, Corporate Infrastructure, and Online Subscriptions. So that you may know me better I have place my organizing principles on my summary here and on my website www.thoht.io . It is extremely attractive for me to work with like-minded people who think outside the box. Traditional corporate environments are completely unattractive to me, I prefer working with small and mid-sized businesses that allow me a highly flexible and adaptable work environment, preferring to work outside of company buildings and working remote.Over the course of my career I've worked in Hollywood, for the film industry, in special effects, and film editing, done commercial and catalog photography, and for the majority of my career worked in UNIX and Linux environments. I've worked on Cray's and other MPP types of systems, clustered databases, and all manner of UNIX and Linux System Administration. I'm also a Nagios expert, with over 12 years experience and have written several custom tools to manage Nagios, generate containers for Nagios Servers, and custom configurations generated from the tools I've created. All in all I like challenging opportunities that I can contribute to where my contribution makes a noticeable difference.. Thanks for taking the time to see my profile! Maybe we can get together on work opportunities if you are like-minded, and the time and circumstances are right. I hope to hear from you, and by all means if you want to connect, please invite me, and I'll be happy to connect with you!
