## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to continue building reliable Linux and cloud production environments through automation, monitoring, incident response, and operational improvement.
```

## About

```text
I'm supporting 24x7 Linux production operations at Athenahealth, managing healthcare infrastructure, incident response, service restoration, certificate validation, and data center migration work across 100+ enterprise servers.

Across Athenahealth, Oracle Cerner, Wipro, Cerner, and IBM, I've administered RHEL, Oracle Linux, UNIX, and AWS infrastructure. I reduce manual operational effort through Ansible and shell automation while improving observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and structured incident troubleshooting.
