I am a Cloud Engineer at intelliflo.

I graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale as a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems Technologies with a focus in networking and security. I am currently working on AWS, Windows Server, Linux, Puppet, Terraform, F5 BIG-IP, VMWare, Automation, GitLab CI/CD, and more. I am also adept at automation via Ansible, BASH, PowerShell, Chef, Jenkins and Harness.

My passion is networking and hardware. In my spare time I work on my home lab with a virtual/physical pfSense firewall HA pair, managed UniFi Switches and APs, vCenter, multiple ESXi clusters, and automation via Terraform/Terragrunt, Puppet and GitLab CI/CD. In the past I have worked with Cisco devices, Palo Alto firewalls, ProxMox, Active Directory, SCCM, F5 LTMs, Oracle/RedHat/CentOS servers as well as a variety of HP, Dell, and SuperMicro servers. When I step away from work and my home lab I enjoy playing disc golf, going for walks, playing with my cat (Away) and watching college football.
