about me

Background

In 1998 I began my IT career as a Systems and Network Administrator.

In 2003 I co-founded Aktiom Networks, a small Virtual Private Server company providing full-root Linux containers.

Since 2006 I have been providing Linux, Cloud, and Infrastructure management and consulting services.

I am the lead developer of structCloud{}, an Infrastructure as Code product providing event based, real-time infrastucture built on SaltStack.

Systems, Cloud and Infrastructure Management and Automation

From one system to thousands. I design, deploy, and operate the 'Full Stack' infrastructure, from bare-metal bootstrapping, networking, full-cloud, PaaS/SaaS integration, etc. I specialize in Linux, Virtualization, Infrastructure Automation and High Availability systems.

Application Configuration

Custom application deployment, Continuous Integration, PaaS/SaaS integration, configuring high availability RDBMs and NoSQL, load balanced web/application servers, or any other infrastructure components.

Security Audits and Hardening

I perform security audits and provide security hardening services to ensure your infrastructure is designed to prevent and detect security intrusions.

SaltStack Development

Bug fixes and feature implementation in the SaltStack code itself, or designing and developing SaltStack states and code to control your infrastructure.
