I am an accomplished Systems Administrator with over 9 years professional experience building infrastructure and platforms for small web hosts, the enterprise data center and the cloud. My primary specialties are Linux systems, open source software, and cloud platforms.I began my career as a traditional software developer but saw my interests shift towards the intersection of systems and development - now what people refer to as DevOps. My knowledge of programming languages and systems administration allows me to integrate and automate much of my work.Here is a brief sampling of skills and technologies I am currently (2013) working with:Linux - RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, and FreeBSDDatastores - MySQL, PostgreSQL, Memcached, Redis, MongoDB, Riak, CouchDB, ElasticSearchMonitoring - Nagios, Munin, Cacti, Monit, Sensu, Graphite, SupervisordManagement - Chef, PuppetPlatforms - AWS, Rackspace, Slicehost, Linode, VMware ESX, Heroku, appFog, EngineYardFrameworks - Rails, PyramidLanaguages - Ruby, P
