SUMMARY

I began using Linux with RedHat 4.0 in 1996, since then I've also been using Gentoo, Ubuntu, and Debian and RHEL/CentOS derivatives, basically always running Linux since then.

My career has been a journey through a lot of different tasks, but it's been always challenging and fun. I began just managing a few servers and doing some PHP programming, learned Perl and began to juggle some complex data structures of a few gigabytes to pack and produce a custom CDs (later DVDs) converted the system from linear perl to multithreaded perl and reduced the running time from ~12 hours to ~4 hours. In a side job I learned some mid-low level programming to read inputs of a digital I/O card and store the values and its timestamps in a mysql database with a multithreaded C program. Now I manage an interesting number of servers using Ansible and Python, and also the underlying AWS infrastructure.

I'm part of the small team that manages the infrastructure area of the company, a mix of Linux servers and containers on AWS, plus some additional on-site Windows and Linux servers in a VMWare cluster. All were custom created and configured when I arrived, and now almost everything is done through Ansible playbooks / roles that are applied to the servers based on the tags assigned at instance creation.

I love to try & tinker with new challenges and tools, be it adding a Varnish cache to a mid traffic site and seeing how it helped our users, or participating in the world IPv6 day in 2011.

I have been lucky enough to be able to have been always working with the tools I know and love.
