WORK HISTORY
Senior Systems Engineer @Fairfax Media
My responsibilities at Fairfax Media involve the operation of their publicly visible sites and supporting systems. These are the mastheads (SMH & The Age) as well as the classified and transactional sites (Domain, MyCareer, Drive, RSVP and Stayz). I am also actively involved in the maintenance of the mobile products (iPad application for mastheads and AFR). I understand the issues involved with building for scale and keeping the systems secure.The product technologies that I am involved with daily are: Linux, Apache & Nginx, Puppet, Varnish, Ruby and BIND.I have very competent skills with nearly all Amazon Web Services (AWS) products, including EC2, RDS, S3, Route53 and CloudFormation. I have solely built the infrastructure for a some smaller sites (Ultimate Footy, AgTrader and MarketBase) which are also fully Puppetised and built modularly for extendability. My most recent systems are autoscaling and take advantage of all the monitoring features of CloudWatch.I also am involved in maintaining and adding systems to the Akamai CDN (which I am fully trained in) as well as maintaining the DNS systems for over 800+ zones.I am a capable PHP developer and all my recent deployment systems are written in Ruby. I have some basic experience with creating Ruby on Rails but am familiar with frameworks in general. I have an understanding on how to build sites taking advantage of AJAX to create a modern web experience and do have experience with frontend development using Javascript and JQuery. All of my AWS tools are written using the AWS-SDK gem and interact using their public API.In the simplest terms: I know Linux, Puppet, Ruby and AWS as these are what I spend the majority of my day (and night) working with.
