I have been a Network a Firewall Engineer for several decades who has learned the arts of programming in Python, React, Flask, Golang as well as several other languages including database management. I love new technologies coming out and am working on AWS, Terraform, Ansible, among others. I have built an extensive test environment and love working on new things, figuring out old things and technology in general. I have set up multiple forms of authentication including OAuth2 & LDAP. In general anything that can be done on a computer I can either do it, or I can’t wait to figure it out. Would love to hear about your project whether it be simple or complicated
