Hi, my name is

Garrett.

I turn coffee into commits.

An inquisitive infrastructure dev. I tend to implement all sorts of open source technology at home.

About Me

I am an IT guy who uses GitHub. I’ve done it all from break-fix IT, Active Directory administration, to writing Java webapps and administrating Kubernetes clusters. I am currently working as a Ford College Graduate for Ford Motor Company in Detroit, MI.

I am currently working within a team of highly skilled Linux administrators who are bringing Kuberentes to the enterprise.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • RHEL
  • Kubernetes/OpenShift
  • Google Cloud
  • Java
  • Python
  • Bash
