    Currently working as a DevOps Specialist at Kepler 🛰️. All of our infrastructure is in-house and I'm working with a variery of interesting low-level HW - raspberry pis, RF Matrix etc., which is a totally new context for me, coming from k8s, ES world. There is so much specialized "space" related equipment here that it presents a great oppurtunity to develop and refine my skills. Beyond that, I've also learned a ton about networking and networking automation. I am currenly the only "DevOps" guy here, but I've met a few people that know the important stuff just as well.

    Currently working as a DevOps Specialist at Kepler 🛰️. + This is a mostly software (infrastructure) dev gig for a start-up, which is a bit new for me coming from a pure "DevOps" role for a mature company. There is a ton of specialized "space" related equipment here that presents interesting problems. Beyond that, I've learned a ton about embedded computers (RPis), networking and network automation, which has opened my world up to cool home projects for which I am very grateful for. So far, I've been responsible for the following:

    +
      +
    • Implementing a net-boot infrastructure using Packer, PXE, Awx (Ansible Tower) to keep our RPi fleet OS images and configurations in-sync and up-to-date.
      • +
    • Built a custom Linux router to support our lab's hardware testing requirements for on-demand subnet generation/teardown, and Ansible roles for our managed switch inventory required our ethernet related workloads.
      • +
    • Completely revised our test-automation infrastructure by building a hardware-management portal using Django with a RESTful Api (DRF) to facilitate reservation, as well as HITL (Hardware-in-the-loop) testing to allow us to more reliably, and frequently test our HW.
      • +
    • Designed and deployed a production-ready on-prem Kubernetes cluster to be our software platform going forward, while facilitating the migration to Kubernetes for all pre-existing workloads, including (but not limited to) our various distributed databases.
      • +
    +

    Beyond my work as an Individual Contributor, I've also been responsible for instilling "DevOps" principles within our team and projects on our road to maturity.
