After years of being an amateur Linux user, open source enthusiast & maker, I`ve decided to take the next step and turn my passions into a career change. While I have run my own VPS web stack, designed a musical "instrument-of-things" using Raspberry Pis and even made AI generated art, I am presently working on getting more acquainted with production-level tools and environments working on completing the Linux Foundation Cloud Engineer Bootcamp. My goal is to find a growth-oriented career that will allow me to put my curiosity to task in applying some of my existing skill sets and knowledge to solving the more challenging problems facing IT today. ©
