At work

I have worked at a medium-sized educational institution for nearly 30 years. Time goes by extremely fast! Over the years, I have held various jobs there: network technician, UNIX system administrator, Windows system administrator, etc.

I’m technically a network engineer, but I work on so many other things I’ve decided to start calling myself an infrastructure engineer.

I spend most of my day in terminal windows, vscode, Obsidian Notes and a web browser.

Stuff I currently work on regularly:

• Programming: Python, JavaScript, Go
• Ansible and other automation tools and scripts.
• Graylog (logging + dashboards)
• Fortigate firewalls
• Cisco routers and switches
• Juniper switches
• Wireless (~900 WAPs deployed): Cisco Unified, Aruba, and now Mist.
• API coding & hackery
  • Gluing APIs together + data munging
  • Reverse engineering
• Windows Servers
• Active Directory
• Microsoft Azure
• Google Workspace (+ APIs)
• Dabbling with RapidIdentity (not an expert, but can bang out good Action Sets)

Stuff I used to work on regularly:

• Pentesting/red teaming on the side
• SunOS and Solaris on SPARC and Intel platforms
• FreeBSD and OpenBSD
• Old, dead firewall platforms like Checkpoint, Cisco PIX and ASA :)
• Java J2EE
• Netscape Directory Server and OpenLDAP
• C# for all kinds of stuff as well as ASP.NET development
• Bunches of other stuff
