<![CDATA[I just lost my job today, so here we go..]]>I just lost my job today, so here we go..

I'm a ~30 years career Sysadmin/DevOps/Server Shepard/Graybeard whatever its called now UNIX nerd.

Looking for work doing UNIX'y stuff. I mostly do automation, and have avoided working with AI and Kubernetes (though I have a bit of k8s experience at two jobs, I just prefer "the old way")

Chef, Puppet, Cfengine, Ansible, Shell scripts, etc.

I've built Linux distributions, and automation tools. Having worked at Redhat, TurboLinux, Penguin Computing, Salesforce, and Chef.

Built and maintained monitoring systems, checks, and lived the on-call life.

Built and managed CI systems, and Pipelines.

I've written and maintained software in Ruby, Python, and Shell. I've dabbled in just about every other programming language you'll find on a UNIX system.

I have spent a lot of time with *BSD, Solaris, IRIX, and Linux, and to a lesser extent HPUX, and AIX.

If its sysadmin work on a UNIX, I've likely done it.

Remote only / West Michigan maybe / not willing to relocate

b/c for 30 years exp you look FANTASTIC (and still darned good for 30 years old)

and packing that resume into 30 years old is impressive!

Hope your search is short and fruitful!

We’re an e-commerce company in Switzerland and process many, many wholesale food orders.

It’s very much done the old way because it works and is extremely cost effective. If you like to talk, DM me or drop an email at phofstetter@sensational.ch
