Working in "DevOps" netherworld in some form since 2002; tester for several years before that on the WinOS kernel driver stack and then other local startups (mid-90s into the new millennium; what a hoot). Cut my teeth on open source, but typically get pulled back into the Microsoft realm. I'm mostly self-taught and have been blessed with many great mentors along the way.
I continue to explore the OSS space and I'm happy to utilize whatever will get the job done. When I grok a solution, I love sharing the knowledge.
