Greetings!
Currently I am living in the Detroit Michigan area, working remotely for Progress Chef.
Much of my experience is centered around system and networking management with a heavy emphasis on DevOps culture transformations, on prem and cloud infrastructures, and partnering with development teams to aid, help, and improve the SDLC.
My hobbies are gaming, lifting weights/working out, golfing, bowling, and travel.

Troubleshooting in DevOps is like an MMORPG
Troubleshooting is a critical aspect of any DevOps workflow, and it can often feel like navigating a complex, unknown landscape. In many ways, troubleshooting in DevOps is similar to exploring a map in a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) without a tutorial. Both require a deep understanding of the systems and processes at play, a clear and efficient method of communication among team members, the ability to adapt to unexpected challenges, and rapidly learn/experiment with the system in a safe controlled way.
This session will discuss Sean’s experience at Progress Chef learning complex build systems, running on a hybrid infrastructure including modern and esoteric systems, not to mention the legacy/heritage code, decisions, and designs while keeping the lights on.
Through Sean’s experience, we will discuss approaches you can use to improve your understanding of the system, reduce end-user frustrations, experiment without breaking, and better support development workflows.
Join us while we have a fun conversation about real-world examples of troubleshooting crazy complex systems and how you can apply those technics to your DevOps process.
This is a joint presentation with Sean Simmons, a Principal DevOps Engineer at Progress Chef and George Westwater, Senior Director of Engineering at Progress Chef.
