I'm also a fan of open source software. + I'm a highly technical IT Professional with 6 years of experience. I find myself drawn to technology + because of what it enables me to do. What I enjoyed most about my academic experience was writing code + in R and Python for statistical computing. I found that love for solving problems with code manifested + itself again when I joined the workforce. I worked as a Web Infrastructure Specialist at a banking software + company in Connecticut starting in September 2018 where I had the oppurtunity to support critical enterprise + applications and learn a whole lot more about web technologies and infrastructure than I ever knew, while at + the same time learning there was so much more that I didn't know. What started as a level 1 position focused + primarly on supporting a million+ user web application with on-premise infrastructure, and doing sometimes + repetitive but critical work, blossomed into a role where I learned the power of automation, I discovered + the joy of code through learning PowerShell, and I served as a force multiplier for my team by enabling them + with custom tools that reduced toil. My ultimate goal was to transform my role into one that aligned with + what I had discovered about myself: I like to a) question assumptions, b) solve real problems that you can + only identify by doing the actual work, and c) learn new things for the sake of knowledge (I value + competency, and strive to improve mine). In September 2022, I enrolled in a Full Stack Coding Bootcamp that + enriched me with modern web application devlopment practices and gave me an environment to work + collaboratively with eager students of the craft. Given I was still working full-time, this was both a + thrilling and exhausting endeavor, though it was invaluable experience despite the latter. After the end of + the program, I decided to leave my current employer to take a break and pursue the next phase of my career. + In hindsight, I can say that -- given the tech job market -- this wasn't my best idea! I had a brief stint + at a local university doing application support, and decided to return to my former employer in a new role + and a new domain, focused on technical risk and security.
++ I'm professionally experienced with supporting distributed applications, application deployment, automation, + tool development, and incident management. I love the power of shell scripting, whether it is PowerShell or Bash. + I like to build tools to solve my own problems. I'm constantly looking to fill the gaps in my knowledge. I'm + particularly interested in web development, Linux system administration, and the command line interface. I have + a low-stakes homelab set up in which I run Debian Linux on some old hardware with too many hard drives, which + primarily serves as my network storage. I really enjoy using macOS for my main workstation and I've been using Macs + alongside Windows for over 10 years now. I love the UNIX Philosophy. I'm also a fan of free open source software + and the ethos behind it. +
