I'm a Systems Administrator, Programmer, and Web Developer, and I've been one for quite a few years... I do most of my work in DevOps and Systems Administration, But along the road I've become great at other things as well, So if you're looking for someone who to manage your servers, write you a few applications, or make you a website or an API, I'm your guy. I'm also great for helping you get your project on track, as I'm also avaliable to do consulting.
Systems Administration and Developer Operations are things I tend to spend a lot of time doing, either for my own projects or various jobs. I've worked with Linux servers every single day for years, and Windows servers intermitently. Over the years I've become quite proficient at solving issues and working with various software and hardware, And anything new to me I tend to pick up quickly.
Linux / Virtualization / Networking / Web Servers / DNS Servers / Database Admin / Automation
I've worked with a good number of Linux distributions over several years, Starting out with CentOS and now focusing more on using Debain and Ubuntu. I've been using Linux longer than I can remember, however it's been well over five years at the least
I have experience with Xen and VMWare, using both to put wide arrays of operating systems including Windows in virtual enviroments. I have also worked with various other systems like Docker or OpenVZ, however I've worked with them less than bare metal virtualization solutions like Xen
I'm capable of desiging and laying out networks for various needs. I have light experience with commercial routers like Cisco and have worked with many different kinds of managed switches including ones from HP. I have even more experience working with residential routers and modems for various tasks. I definitely know the difference between Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6, a Switch, Router, or Modem, and UDP or TCP.
I've worked with Nginx and Apache on many ocassions, having spent most of my time with Nginx I've written config generators for it, twice. I've used Nginx for load balancing and acting as a proxy for various things along with just a standard webserver.
I run my own Bind9 DNS servers around the globe both for nameservers with immediate replication to all servers and quite a few domains, and a few as local dns servers for clients. Dynamic DNS Updating and advanced configurations are also things I've played with in my time with Bind9
Being in both programming and web development I've had to work with a wide number of database formats such as MySQL, MiriaDB, RethinkDB, Redis, SQLite, and MongoDB. My current favorite at the moment is RethinkDB and I use it extensively for all my new projects
Being a Systems Administrator I've learned that automation is key. I spend the time required automating a task if I know it will cost me more time in the long run, and sometimes just to see if I can do it. I've worked with automation software like Jenkins CI and I write automation tools primarily in Bash, and Python and even sometimes a mix of both.
I spend a lot of my time writing code for various tasks. I primarily work with Python, and have worked on quite a few projects with varying sizes. I also work with many shell languages like Bash. Because of my background in both Programming and Systems Administration, it allows me to shine in the DevOps world
Python / PHP / Bash
I've been a Web Developer longer than anything else. Over the years I've worked hard on expanding my skills, and have become able to write large portions or complete websites very quickly while still keeping a clean source code. I even created this one myself. The one thing I don't accel at is design.
HTML / CSS / JS
Python is where I spend all of my programming time. I've written tons of automation tools, various monitoring tools, website backends, web APIs servers and even things like IRC Servers.
Most of my earlier programming time was spent writing PHP, I've written backends for video games and forums for over a hundred thousand users.
Bash scripting is a little side skill that's really more Systems Administrator than it is Programming but it is a handy tool in a lot of situations and I'm good at weilding it.
I've been writing HTML for years and have created countless websites over time, including this one. I'm picky about having very clean and readable HTML so that others can work with me or figure out what I've done.
Much like HTML, I've been writing CSS for years on tons of websites and wrote the CSS for this one. All of the CSS I write allows the website I'm working on to be responsive and fluid on any size screen. While I'm not quite as picky about my CSS as I am my HTML, I do prefer to keep it rather clean. I also prefer to do things in CSS animations over Javascript.
While I might not be a JavaScript developer at heart, I can write it when I need to. I write JavaScript to pull off the various animation tasks or cool things you see on the websites I work on.
I'm the kind of guy who gets into a project and puts everything I've got into it. It's important to be able to dedicate yourself to something and work towards it. Stopping to think about the options you have is equally as important, making sure that the easy route is actually better in the long run than some of the harder ones while you also make sure you don't burn yourself out.
I'm a huge fan of Python development and Linux. I spend most of my spare time tinkering with one of the two and creating new things or automating something that would make my life a little easier in the long run. I also enjoy keeping myself up to date on computer hardware and the latest gadgets.
I've been in a ton of positions over time... Freelancer, Team leader, Project Developer, Entreprenur, Computer designer, API designer, Public Relations, CopyWriter and countless other titles have applied to me. I like to flex my abilities when I can and branch out a little.
I've been known to tinker with circutry, woodworking, writing, and game design. I'm usually pretty easy to talk to, an avid gamer, and work best with a bit of music. I'm also great at making terrible jokes and chances are if it uses electricity I'll know something useful about it or be able to help fix it.
For the moment this section is incomplete! The website itself is still a little bit of a work in progress.
This will fill out when I create a proper design for it.
