A bit about me:

I graduated from Rutgers University (New Brunswick) in October 2009, with a BA in Information Technology and Informatics from Rutgers College / School of Communication and Information (minor in General History). I have been employed by Rutgers University since April 2006 (excepting one summer off), working first as a web application programmer and then as a systems programmer. For the past two years my duties have increasingly shifted towards Linux system administration, my most recent project being the design and implementation of a centralized installation/automation/backup/configuration management system for Rutgers University Central Systems & Services. Other notable duties include management and manintenance of all Central Systems & Services server hardware and data center space, support of embedded Linux devices, and network maintenance/troubleshooting. I am also currently one of three persons responsible for the installation, maintenance and administration of the University-wide wireless network, composed of over 600 access points across five campuses. I am currently working 30 hours per week, the maximum allowed for part-time employees.

Since 2006, have been the sole system administrator and architect for the Midland Park Ambulance Corps, a volunteer, non-profit BLS ambulance provider. In addition to designing and administering the general use and mission-critical LANs, I also developed a custom application for electronic patient care report management (ePCR). PHP EMS Tools, an open source application that I originally developed for the Corps, tracks scheduling, membership, equipment maintenance, call statistics, and other EMS management tasks. In early 2009, I also developed an Asterisk-based add-on to allow members responding to emergency calls to notify dispatch and other members of their response via telephone (results displayed in a secured web application). My current projects include migration of mission-critical systems to a redundant, multi-location infrastructure and development of an enhanced web-based electronic patient care report application.

Personally, I have been a Linux user for eight years, and have been administering Linux servers for over four years. I have a strong interest in use of the latest technologies, lately including Puppet for automation. My experience with open soruce software has allowed me not only to gain extensive experience with the latest technologies outside the workplace, but also to complete a number of major projects at Rutgers with zero software budget. I maintain a small server farm at home for my personal web site and projects, and generally use this as my initial testbed for new technologies before implementing them at work. While I consider myself to be a healthy mix of programmer, genera system administrator and network administrator, my real passions are automation, tool development, documentation (specifically automated generation of system and network documentation), monitoring and performance and log analysis.
