About Me

I have over 15 years of system administration and 10 years devops experience with knowledge of many server operating systems, networking equipment and technical standards. I worked on Big Data platforms utilized by Fortune 50 customers such as Ford, GM, FCA and VW. One of my clients has a popular web comic of which, has had two books make it to the New York Times Best Sellers Top 10 List. Perhaps you’ve heard of theawkwardyeti.com or ‘Heart and Brain’? I have also worked at a hosting company who won ‘Web Host of the Year’ for 7 years at Xbiz. You want to talk about working on systems that are prone to direct security attacks! I’ve had plenty of experience keeping the platforms up to speed and the data that resides on them safe.

I’m a firm believer in utilizing Open Source as we couldn’t have today’s technical advances without it. I started throwing a small portion of my sysadmin toolset on my github page – https://github.com/mattmarich/scripts.
