Douglas Hunley’s Summary

Experienced Linux/UNIX Systems Administrator with a passion for open source technologies, solutions, and ideals. I've spent the better part of a decade working in mission-critical roles keeping servers up and running smoothly and customers satisfied. Being on-call, under-funded, and under the gun just makes it interesting for me. I'm looking for more of the same in a shop where I can make a difference and put the technology and my skills to use for the company, the customer, and the community.
