Experienced Full Stack Engineer Bare metal to Data Center, Development to Deployment
Knowledge and experience with the full stack required for modern data center operations
From provisioning bare metal hosts to vSphere nodes, Security Engineering, Networking Engineering, Systems Engineering and Administration, Web/Application and Automation development experience, to containerization and Kubernetes. My experience covers the entire IT portfolio required for modern IT operations.
This website is hosted on a virtual Ubuntu 22.04 server installation with Docker 20.10.19. The VM is hosted on a vSphere 7.0 installation hosted on a Dell R720 with RAID6 HDD data storage.
Software and Infrastructure Automation The Future Will Be Automated
Modern and future operations require experience in platform and process automation
Enterprise's require experience in process automation, both on the platform and process level. Automation reduces error and improves consistancy when applied correctly and thoughtfully.
Proven experience in PowerShell automation to audit and maintain Windows Domain environments,Azure and Office 365 environments as well as endpoint environments. Also experienced in bash scripting linux processes and distrobutions and infrastructure automation.
Containers also play an important part in modern infrastructure development and deployment processes. Working knowledge of Docker and Docker Swarm as well as containerd and Kubernetes will play an important part in the future. Automatic CI/CD pipelines increase deployment speed and accuracy as well as reducing infrasturcture maintainence and requirements.
