Good Afternoon,
As you can tell from the location of this thread, I am a new member of linux.org. I have used linux on my personal devices off and on for a few years, just kind of playing with it really. I have recently really been drawn to learning more about it. Specifically, linux server administration in an enterprise environment. I am currently going through the edx.org course "Introduction to Linux,".
A brief professional background history: I started in networking when I joined the military in 2012. I enlisted as a 25B (Information Technology Specialist). I quickly got a job as a Network Specialist with SAIC, and was a member of their ITS team in the NSOC which handled internal networking issues. When SAIC split into two companies (SAIC, and Leidos) I migrated over to Leidos. After that I moved on to a very small MSP in southern MO. I worked there as a Network Admin for a little while, then moved on to work for Windstream. I worked for Windstream as a Network Analyst in their Test and Turn-Up department. I worked on some very exciting/stressful projects expanding Windstreams service area. A quick google search of Windstream will let you know why I decided to ultimately leave. I now currently work for a much smaller ISP as a Network Services Analyst.
I am looking forward to learning/working more with Linux and hope to one day be able to contribute back to this community.
