I've been working in the IT industry for 20+ years. While I've focused on Systems / Network Administration, I've always enjoyed doing a bit of everything, including DevOps, Full Stack Development, UX Design and Hardware Repair / Troubleshooting.

Right now, I'm looking to get back to working on a team. I've been consulting for a bit and, while I enjoy the variety of the work, I find myself missing the camaraderie of being on team, working towards a common goal.
