I build and automate reliable Linux infrastructure for DevOps and SRE teams.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've supported Linux infrastructure at Intel, Microchip, Sun Microsystems, and local businesses for more than 25 years. My work spans Linux engineering, Unix administration, server provisioning, storage support, backups, migrations, and troubleshooting.
At Intel, I provided on-premises support to an internal DevOps team, created and maintained Proxmox clusters, provisioned servers with MAAS and FOG Project, and automated operational tasks using Ansible and scripts.
At Microchip, I supported and maintained more than 200 test servers across CentOS, Rocky, Alma, Ubuntu, Debian, and Windows environments, while helping storage engineering through Linux automation.
I also build and operate a hands-on homelab for Proxmox, ESXi, self-hosting, ZFS replication, reverse proxies, and automated failover. I'm looking to bring my Linux background and practical automation mindset to a DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering role.
