About Me

I guess this calls for a bit of an introduction…

I’m Alex! I’m a Platform Engineer working on air traffic control systems for a Fortune 500 company. I am a Rutgers alumni and currently studying for my masters in Systems Engineering at John Hopkins University.

I work with Linux and UNIX systems, a lot, both personally and profesionally. I spend my personal time working on wacky projects or learning new things. I’ve made a Linux distribution before, but prefer to use Fedora/Enterprise Linux. I also dabble with the BSDs and Solaris/Illumos. Recently I’ve been working with containerized workflows and Kubernetes/OpenShift.

I’ll try to post here ocasionally when there’s something particularly interesting going on. I have a couple of ideas in the pipeline; it’s just a matter of manging my time better to make them a reality.
