I am new to Freelancer, but I've been a seasoned Linux enthusiast for over 25 years, since Slackware in the 1990s. While professionally administering and automating processes via shell scripting (KSH and BASH) and C/C++ on Unix systems -AIX, BSD, HP-UX, Solaris, and IRIX, I've spent more time doing the same professionally and entrepreneurially on several Linux distributions, but mainly Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Red Hat/CentOS, Arch, Kali, SUSE, and Alpine. I've been developing Ansible playbooks heavily for the last 3 years, modernizing old IT systems, along with writing scripted Jenkins pipelines, Python and OpenFaaS development, and containerizing applications for Openshift and other Kubernetes flavors. I speak and write English very well, and I'm proficient at writing technical and formal documentation.
