now</h2> -<p>Currently working as a <strong>DevOps</strong> at <a href="https://kepler.space">Kepler</a> 🛰️. -This is mostly a software (infrastructure) dev gig for a start-up, which is a bit new to me -coming from a more traditional DevOps role with a mature company. -There is a ton of specialized <em>space</em> -related equipment here that present interesting problems in DevOps.</p> -<p>I’ve learned a ton about embedded computers, networking and network automation, -which has opened my world up to all sorts of home projects for which I am very grateful for. -So far, I’ve been responsible for the following:</p> -<ul> -<li>Establishing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) as standard practice with Ansible.</li> -<li>Implementing a netboot infrastructure for our development servers - RPis - -using Packer, PXE, Awx (Ansible Tower) to keep them synced, predictable, and up-to-date.</li> -<li>Built a custom Linux router to support our unique hardware testing requirements -for on-demand subnet generation/teardown for isolated tests.</li> -<li>Automated our Lab network infrastructure with Ansible.</li> -<li>Devised a test-automation framework using Django to facilitate reservation, -as well as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware-in-the-loop_simulation">HIL</a> -(Hardware-In-the-Loop) testing to allow us to more reliably, and frequently test our HW.</li> -<li>Designed and deployed our highly-available Kubernetes cluster to be our software -platform going forward.</li> -</ul> -<p>Beyond my work as an Individual Contributor (IC), I’ve also been responsible for instilling DevOps -<em>principles</em> within the team on our journey to maturity.</p> -<h2 id="2019---2020">2019 - 2020</h2> -<p>Worked as a <strong>DevOps Engineer</strong> at <a href="https://acuityads.com">AcuityAds</a> in Toronto. -The main selling point for me to work here is that Acuity does not use -AWS, GCP or Azure etc. to host its infrastructure, it has its own on-prem ‘cloud’. -This presents substantial challenges for us as DevOps Engineers that would normally be handled by a -public cloud provider.</p> -<p>Apart from this, due to the nature of adtech, we deal with massive amounts of data, which forces -us to be very careful about the types of technologies we use (scale). -Here is a subset of what I’ve gained experience with during my time:</p> -<ul> -<li>Infrastructure: VMWare, Physical</li> -<li>Provisioning: Ansible, Terraform, Cobbler</li> -<li>Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes</li> -<li>CI/CD: Git, BitBucket, Bamboo (we host the entire Atlassian suite in-house)</li> -<li>Monitoring: -<ul> -<li>TICK (Telegraf, Influxdb, Chronograf, Kapacitor)</li> -<li>ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), with filebeat and metricbeat beats</li> -<li>Prometheus</li> -<li>Grafana</li> -<li>Nagios, Pagerduty, Pingdom</li> -</ul> -</li> -<li>Data: MySql, Aerospike, Kafka, HDFS, Druid</li> -<li>Scripting: Golang, Bash, Python. <em>Some</em> of my work can be on my Gitlab profile: -<ul> -<li>Golang: -<ul> -<li>a fast, containerized <a href="https://gitlab.com/kdam0/go-druid-mysql-influx">cron script</a> -that interacts with Druid, MySql, and Influxdb written in Go. -Basic unit testing. -This is a job that powers one of our major alerting dashboards.</li> -<li>a containerized highly modular <a href="https://gitlab.com/kdam0/devops-api">Rest Api</a> -that writes to Influxdb. -This is something we run in K8S as a Service to monitor Cronjobs that run in K8S.</li> -</ul> -</li> -<li>Python: a <a href="https://gitlab.com/kdam0/slack-to-teams">script</a> to migrate -Slack exports to MS Teams messages. -This is something we used when we gave up on Slack.</li> -<li>Bash: a small <a href="https://gitlab.com/kdam0/random-shell-helpers">collection</a> of helper -scripts that I used frequently for random things.</li> -</ul> -</li> -</ul> -<h2 id="2016---2017">2016 -
