I started my professional career in small and medium business networks handling everything from the setup and configuration of workstations to configuration of Exchange, SQL Server, and Active Directory installs ranging from - users. During this time I was doing small-time consulting for local businesses setting up Linux based webservers and data storage systems. I used that basic Linux knowledge to work my way up from mid-level support to sys-admin work for a startup and became their lead ops engineer managing physical servers and - cloud servers via Chef. I transferred to Rackspace to broaden my skills by working on larger networks. I helped maintain the Cloudkick product post Rackspace acquisition with the Cloudkick team. During this time I led the DevOps team in charge of the next generation cloud control panel. After the launch some of the team transitioned to other teams for new development. I'm currently the lead DevOps Engineer on the Rackspace Auto Scale team.
