About Me – Chris Marsh

So my name is Chris Marsh, and I am a Full Stack Applications IT professional.

My official title is “Senior Web Application Developer”, but I barely ever write code any more, because I am usually busy helping others on the team, or redesigning something.

My actual duties include the following:

• Deployments Admin
• Automation Engineer
• Application Developer
• API Architect
• Systems Architect
• SystemV Developer
• Varnish Admin
• Code Reviewer
• Github Enterprise Admin
• Splunk Admin
• Nexus Admin
• Jenkins Admin
• Linux Admin
• Akamai Admin
• Director’s Personal “I need this fixed now and no one else can do it” person
• DevOps Advocate
• SecOps Advocate
• CI Engineer
• CD Engineer
• AWS Developer
• Load Testing Engineer

Every day I run into new and interesting problems while working, and I finally decided I need to write it all down somewhere. I used to have a pile of post-it notes floating around my desk with notes scribbled down all over them, but this was unsustainable.

A few of my co-workers, as well as others in IRC channels I frequent, ask a lot of times how I figured something out, and well, instead of throwing post-it notes at them, I decided to start blogging my days at work.

So, here you go. I hope someone out there finds this useful.
