I’m a senior Linux and cloud infrastructure engineer with 20+ years of experience building, automating, and supporting production systems across bare-metal datacenters and hybrid cloud environments. My strongest areas are Linux, Bash, Ansible, AWS, Azure, CloudFormation, Kubernetes infrastructure operations, hardware lifecycle support, and high-pressure troubleshooting that crosses Linux, storage, and networking boundaries. Most recently, I supported a two-datacenter Verizon environment with 1,500 bare-metal Linux servers across 22 racks and 88 switches. I built Ansible automation for provisioning, rebuilds, switch deployment and upgrades, and DNS/NTP/security audits, helping reduce manual infrastructure effort by roughly 40%. I also standardized rebuild and node-recovery workflows, supported hardware fault remediation and switch replacement, extended internal Bash tooling, and handled production diagnostics using systemd, journalctl, and kernel-level troubleshooting. Earlier in my career, I migrated hybrid applications into AWS and Azure, standardized operations across 900 Linux instances in multiple AWS regions, supported 500 RHEL servers in enterprise environments, and administered 240 Linux and Windows servers while modernizing monitoring, backup, and file services. Across those roles, the pattern has been the same: take messy infrastructure, automate the repetitive parts, stabilize the environment, and make operations more predictable.I’m at my best in senior infrastructure and automation roles where deep Linux experience, operational judgment, and practical engineering matter more than buzzwords. I’m not a pure software developer pretending to be an ops engineer. I’m an ops-focused Linux engineer who can automate aggressively, troubleshoot realistically, and keep critical systems running.
