I've been in Operations for 20 years #as a Network Engineer (working in NOC). In Google I specialize on:
- SRE (Site reliability Engineering)
- How Google does Software Development, Culture, Teams, Operations.
- AI (mostly around Gemini)
- Ruby (see my activity in rubyevents.org)
- Pulumi
- GCP foundations (Infra: GCE, "landing zones") and all the experience I matured in 7 years of Professional Services with big customers in DACH.
Code proficiency:
- (AWESOME) Bash
- (GOOD) Ruby
- (AVERAGE)
Python,Pulumi(with Python because.. pulumi/pulumi#132) - (LOW) C, C++, Java, Go, Perl, PHP, Prolog, Terraform
- (BAD) Javascript/Typescript. I dream of a world where you can choose your own FE language and not stick to ****script.
