With a background at a cloud hosting company, I started learning Linux and DevOps from the bottom up as a technical writer set out to document configuration management systems. Falling in love with Linux, DevOps and tech as a whole, I eventually took my ability to explain technical concepts to wide audiences to the training area, creating courses on Red Hat, SaltStack, HashiCorp, LXD, Docker, and more.
