ABOUT ME
Experienced Operations Engineer with a passion for sharing knowledge.
Experienced Operations Engineer with a passion for sharing knowledge.

I have around 25 years experience in IT. In the past 8 years I have enjoyed my time as a DevOps practitioner in a few different roles. I have been able to combine my prior network and systems administration skills into a well-rounded DevOps practice.

Technologies and tools come and go, but the fundamentals of DevOps always remain important. I believe that my range of knowledge will be helpful to you!

Need some advice on what we are looking for on the other side of the table (or zoom session)? I can give you the perspective of the Sr. Engineers you may be talking to. Having also interviewed for many jobs in my career I may be able to offer some unique perspective.
