Contracted services

Need cybersecurity or IT help? I can do that.

Expertise?

Network architecture, zero trust systems design, remote access systems, config management, compliance (PCI-DSS, ISO 27001/27002, SOC), Linux, ZFS, Kubernetes, web app backend design, identity federation/SSO, Grafana stack, CoreDNS, Envoy, TLS internals, Linux eBPF features (mainly XDP and TC), SAML and OIDC, X.509 PKI.

Those are just the areas in which I can claim subject matter expertise. I'm one of the few people who can truthfully claim to be a full-time Linux user–personal and work, servers, desktops and laptops–and it shows when I'm at a terminal.

For the locals
