Engineer - Technology Evangelist - Coach - Solution Architect - Troubleshooter

I'm an advocate for Cloud, DevOps, ChatOps, Containers, Agile & Decisions driven through data. I'm a firm believer that people and culture are an important aspect of the work that I do, and I.T in general.

I love open-source. Checkout my GitHub account https://github.com/drewkhoury

I've been part of https://github.com/autocorp/ and we did some exciting things with Docker, Ansible, Python, Redis, Hubot & ChatOps.

With an older brother already in I.T I was exposed to computers from a young age. In fact I'd pull apart anything remotely electronic as a young child. As I grew my destruction rained. I pulled apart hard drives (they make great magnets btw), CD-ROMs (we didn't have any fancy DVDs or BlueRay back in my day) and blew up the odd CPU.

While I may not have grown up coding in COBOL I've had the opportunity to try a number of languages and operating systems. I started my computing life with Windows 3.1, then moved through 95/98/ME/NT/XP & Server 2003. As I explored, I developed a love for linux and I started reading books & hunting for terminals to play with. Naturally, Apple started to become much more appealing...after all it was FreeBSD under the hood.

Fast forward to today and I'm rocking an OS X desktop, but spend most of my time in the terminal (likely a Debian/Ubuntu Web Server) or Sublime.

Networking & Security are two area's of I.T I'm very passionate about too, however my love of the Web has taken up most of my attention for quite some time now.

Technologies I've worked with: Linode, AWS, Vagrant, Apache, Nginx, Varnish, MySQL/MSSQL, PHP, Python, Google App Engine (GAE), SH, Bash

Frameworks: Puppet, Zend Framework, Drupal / Wordpress / Magento / Joomla / OpenCms, Django, Mezzanine, Cartridge, jQuery / ExtJS

Websites I've been involved with: MatildaBay, VictoriaBitter, CarltonDraguht, HushPuppies, Mercedes RaceAroundTheWeb, Sensis, eDMs for Dulux, Carlton Dry & Fosters.

I'm a ServerFault Addict, and proud.
