Radio frequency energy

I am licensed in the USA as a General Class amateur radio operator with the call sign K4APP, and enjoy all kinds of signals, particularly those which originate from or otherwise traverse space.

Operations & FreeBSD tattoos

I am well steeped in classic Systems Administration, but also knowledgeable and experienced about DevOps, automation, containerization, virtualization, and secrets management.

Photo

I have been a fan of Unix since the 1980s and began my personal journey as root on FreeBSD version 2.2.5, and as Kelsey Hightower (opens in a new tab) hilariously mentions in his fantastic HashiConf 2017 Keynote (opens in a new tab), I am literally one of those people from the 90s with a FreeBSD tattoo!
