Linux Systems Engineer
Problem Solver
Infrastructure Builder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n



After four decades working toward someone else’s goals, I’m now available to work toward yours.

I design, build, automate, and maintain resilient Linux infrastructure on-prem, in datacenter and across the cloud. I help organizations simplify complex systems, improve security and governance, while reducing cost and operational risk.

Decades of hands-on experience. Practical solutions. No nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
