About Michael Carlson
I\'m an operations engineer and system administrator who has spent: • 25 years administering all aspects of Linux • 17 years integrating macOS (OS X), Windows, and Linux in hybrid settings • 13 years administering datacenter and virtualized environments • 11 years maintaining and supporting production (on-premise and cloud) for both internal and customer-facing needsOver the last 7 years I expanded into DevOps / SRE. I have strong familiarity and moderate hands-on with SDLC, object-oriented coding, and DevOps approached from an operations perspective.My soft skills balance my technical abilities, and I can communicate with almost anyone effectively.I strongly advocate and use open-source solutions for both personal and professional needs.
