About Yen C.

I love computer. Ever since setting up my first PBX and manipulating it to make my first call, I\'ve been obsessed with the idea of using computers to solve practical problems. System/Software engineering is a never-ending puzzle that I am passionately engaged in solving. At work I possess a contagious sense of ownership and the tenacity to always find a way. I enjoy breaking down requirement into small pieces and get things done. At the same time always exercise judgement in a way which reduces risks and making decisions based on data also knowing when to make trade-offs.When I leave the office, I tend to continue writing code. Most recently I\'ve been working on MCP projects that connect service together. I play the drum/guitar and I find a beautiful crossover between software and music. Both pursuits challenge so many aspects of the intellect: creativity, discipline, sequential processing, problem solving. This is what keeps me up at night, a never ending thirst to create beautiful, powerful things and share them with the world.Skills/Interests: • Cloud Infrastructure orchestration : AWS, IBM cloud, OpenStack, Heroku• Software development methodologies : Agile, SAFe, PDCA, Shift-left testing • Deployment/Configuration automation : Terraform, Helm, MAAS, Juju, Ansible, Shell scripting, Python• HPC/Distributed computing/Resource orchestration : LSF, Kubernetes • Linux administration : SSO, LDAP, NIS, LVM, NFS, AutoFS, SAMBA, Lmod, Docker, X11, VNC, SSH certificate • System observability/alerting : Datadog, Istio, Prometheus, Zabbix, Graphite, PagerDuty• SIEM/Vulnerability Scanning/Patch management/Policy Controller : Qradar, Nessus, Tenable.sc, BigFix, Gatekeeper• Compliance Framework : SOC2, GDPR, MS SSPA• Version control/CI/CD : Git Flow, Github, Travis, Concourse, Artifactory, ArgoCD, Spacelift• Collaboration/Ticketing system : JIRA, Confluence, ServiceNow• SAN & NAS installation and optimization : NetApp, HP BladeSystem, Synology, Supermicro• Network/Firewall Administration : Cisco, Brocade, HP, Juniper • Troubleshooting multiple OS : Mac OSX 10.9+, Windows 7+, Redhat 5+, Ubuntu 12+• Working knowledge of SIP, RTP, POTS, PRI, T1, VLAN, QOS, SNMP, 802.11
