I am currently a Lead DevOps engineer for a SaaS startup. In my day to day role I manage servers and infrastructure across Azure and AWS using tools like Ansible, Terraform, GitHub actions and Docker. I started out in IT/System Administration and I have deep expertise in all things networking (DNS, HTTP(s), TLS, firewalls, proxy servers, etc). I am responsible for ensuring the reliability and security of our platform. I specialize containerizing applications and deploying them in various methods. I have a background with Kubernetes as well. I am comfortable and well versed in Linux/Unix environments and tools including but not limited to: ssh, scp, BASH scripting, etc. I consider myself to be a bit of a Swiss Army knife, I also have a background in frontend/backend development so I have a very good understanding of application development. My strengths include: - Nginx - Apache - CORS issues - SSL/HTTP(S) Issues and certificates - DNS issues - AWS Services - Azure services - DigitalOcean - Linux/Unix - Wordpress - Docker - PHP
