About Me¶

Howdy.

My name is Bert.

I am a dedicated father and husband, and I'm sure I'm a pretty regular guy (for now).

My trade is tech, with a specialty in Cloud Architecture, Systems Administration/Orchestration, and everything that ships with DevOps methodoligies, which includes Desired State and Configuration Management, among other buzzwordy terms.

My passions¶

• Technology
• Education
• Good, solid, parenting
• Child welfare - Become a Big at Big Brothers Big Sisters!
• Saving the planet by Composting! - See my notes here

My work¶

• 🔭 Currently working on bert.bill (personal project for helping others learn new technologies).
• 🌱 Currently honing my skils in:
• React
• Terraform
• ProxMox
• AWS

Feel free to peruse the rest of my free and opensource projects on github.

You can also reach me on LinkedIn.

My tech stack¶

I absolutely love DevOps and am forever a student of programming languages such as Python, PowerShell, Go, and Ruby.

For shell scripting on POSIX-compliant systems, I mostly use Bash and zsh, but I can get pretty crafty on Windows with PowerShell and even BATCH.

My Web skills include:

• Frontend Development
  • React,
  • CSS
  • Good ol' javascript
• Backend/API Development
  • Flask
  • nodejs

My goto for infrastructure orchestration and platform tooling is Ansible.

For Infrastructure as Code (IaC), I use Terraform.

Microservices and Virtualization? Oh yeah!:

• Kubernetes
• Rancher
• Docker
• Ovirt/RHEV
• ProxMox
• VMware

But wait, there's more:

I'm all about that Jenkins and Argo CD for Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), and I love, love, love these Atlassian Products:

• JIRA
• Confluence
• Bitbucket
