I'm a jaded worn-out seasoned Technical Systems Administrator with a passion for automation, gaming, and building cool things. My work focuses on creating efficient systems, implementing cutting-edge technologies, and simplifying complex workflows. Outside of work, I'm an avid gamer and enjoy diving into both computer and tabletop games. I tend to try to automate everything I touch, for better or worse.

• Programming Languages & Scripting: 🐍 Python, 🐚 PowerShell (7+ only), Bash, 🌍 JavaScript

• Automation & DevOps: 🐳 Docker (love me some Compose), 🚀 Building CI/CD pipelines, 😓 spending 5h to automate 1-2 5m tasks...

• Configuration Management: 🪆 Puppet, ☠️ DSC, every other one...

• Cloud & Infrastructure: 🌋 Terraform, ☁️ Google Cloud, ⛅ Azure, 💩 VMware

• Monitoring & Security: 🪵 ELK, 🔥 Prometheus, 💸 Splunk, 🦋 Grafana

• Databases, Caches, & Queues: 🐘 PostgreSQL, 💩 MySQL, 🍃 MongoDB, accidentally touching a hot stove...

• 🌍 Edge Extensions: Developing Microsoft Edge extensions to automate repeat tasks and keep useful information readily-available. I do 80% of my work in a browser between work/personal/projects, and therefore want to bring as much quality-of-life to my browser environment as possible.

• 💬 Discord Apps & Utilities: Creating useful tools that improve user (and moderator) experience.

• 🛜 Home Network: Improving the infrastructure, monitoring, and management tools in my local network. I've been deploying an unreasonable amount of services to make it easy to work, learn, and relax.
