I work a lot with Managing frustrated teams and dealing with Cisco!
Getting everything connected, as neatly as possible.
Getting everything connected, as neatly as possible.
As a person who is very passionate about learning and IT in general, I have a wealth of experience. I work daily in VMWare ESXi ranging from 5.0 to 8. I started using powershell about 11 years ago and now a day doesn't go by where I don't script something. I work in MySQL and Informix databases regularly. I run 15 linux systems using CentOS, Debian, SUSE, and a custom built. I've been using an Asterisk PBX hosted on a custom linux since 2002 to run all my house phones. At one point, i also provided phone service to some friends in Afghanistan and Canada to offer TEHO service. I work with Cisco routers, switches, and unified communications apps on a daily basis. I have some experience with F5 load balancers and Checkpoint firewalls. I'm well versed in all Microsoft products and have experience authenticating Linux machines via AD. Finally, I'm quite fluent in docker and am a member of the LinuxServer.io team
As far as official credentials, I hold a Master of Art in Information Technology Management with an emphasis in Web Services Security. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in Internet and Web Technologies.
My current certifications include, CISSP, CCNP Collaboration, CCNP Enterprise , Linux Professional Institute 101, Linux+, Novell Certified Linux Administrator, A+, Network+, Security+, and finally I hold a very outdated MCSE+i. I'm currently studying for the CCIE Collaboration and Ribbon certifications. Since I'm a big fan of docker, I've also been labbing and doing some training with kubernetes.
