scottyrichardson/README.md

I'm a DevOps Engineer / SRE / Platform Engineer with over 15 years' experience developing applications and managing infrastructure. My unique blend of development and IT operations knowledge allows me to bridge the gap between code and infrastructure. I’ve created two open-source frameworks on GitHub and continue to push myself in new directions with emerging cloud tech and containerization.

Recent accomplishments include:

  • Developed an open source DevOps framework to triple database reliability using globally replicated multi-write MySQL nodes.
  • Implemented Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and DevOps best practices to reduce operational costs by over 30%.
  • Installed an Azure API gateway to eliminate DDoS attacks on 3 vulnerable APIs.

This year I am working towards my BS in Information Technology. I am also studying for additional certifications in AWS and Kubernetes.

I keep my personal repos very minimal. You can find my work in the open source project repos below.

Open Source Frameworks I've Created

Name Languages Description
Olyn DevOps Framework for Chef Ruby, Bash, Shell An open source DevOps library for Chef that deploys clustered Debian web servers with asynchronously replicated multi-write MySQL databases on Azure, AWS, or GCP. Features include a web server, CI/CD integration, and content caching for easy deployment via infrastructure as code.
Grayl PHP Framework PHP An object-oriented open source PHP framework for fully functional eCommerce applications via Paypal or AuthorizeDotNet. Packages include libraries for MailChimp, MaxMind, and ZenDesk. Comes with a custom database PDO layer for building secure SQL queries via prepared statements.
