http://www.linkedin.com/in/perlgirl PERSONAL SUMMARY 01-Nov-2011 - I am not currently

looking for alternative employment oppertunities. Please do not contact me at this time

with employment offers. I am an experienced Linux system administrator (RHCE VCP) and Perl

programmer working in the ISP and software development industries. I enjoy writing Perl

software much of which I have released publicly as open source software on CPAN. PSMON

RRD::Simple and iNagios are used by system administrators around the world. I am also

currently a silent director of TFB Technology Ltd. I am a highly motivated individual and

pride myself on completing tasks to the highest possible standard the first time around.

As such I find designing planning and improving networks and other systems' infrastructure

very rewarding and is an area that I would like to continue to work in and develop.I am

specifically interested in continuing my career in LAMP Development and/or System

Administration and monitoring (in or out of a NOC environment) and related areas where I

can continue to use my Perl knowledge.

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

Oct 2010 - GoogleUK Ltd SiteReliability Engineer

Aug

2009 - The Cloud Networks LtdSenior Systems Engineer Core Roles/Skills: Linux system

administration of 150 hosts monitoring (Nagios/Cacti/OpenNMS/SNMP/RRD) ad-hoc automation

scripting out of hours on-call cover infrastructure deployment & consolidation shared

support of edge and core network infrastructure. The Cloud Networks is currently the WiFi

Hotspot market leader in the UK serving over 5 000 venues around Europe. The Network

Operations team of four (2 systems engineers and 2 network engineers) maintains the

majority of this estate including POPs in datacentres in the UK Germany and Sweden. There

is a strong skills overlap within the team which is necessary given the relative size of

the team compared to the size of the network. I am responsible for maintaining The Cloud's

server infrastructure and ensuring uninterrupted service to customers at venues 24/7.

While this involves some support ticket escalations from our customer services and

provisioning teams the majority of my time is spent writing various scripts automation and

monitoring improvements. I am currently working to move our servers to disklessly boot

CentOS from the network using shared NFS storage the benefits being faster deployment of

additional service nodes reduced disk failures known consolidated and revisioned OS builds

easier maintenance and deployment processes. In preparation of migration to a diskless

server build I implemented a Git revision controlled repository of existing production

server configurations and runtime information and physical device inventory using

RackMonkey that could be used by Netops development and QA departments as a reference for

the production network. Other changes include deployment of a custom patched bash (jointly

developed with a colleague) and centralised syslog server to aid auditing from servers and

network equipment coupled with rollout of AAA against Active Directory and Radius. Close

communication between development support and provisioning teams mean that I have been

able to implement various tools and interfaces for other teams thus reducing their

dependency on the Netops team and offloading some work from development. 2006 - McAfeeInternational LtdSenior Infrastructure Engineer Core Roles/Skills: Linux system

administration monitoring (Nagios/SNMP/RRD) VMware ESX VI3 virtualisation automated

infrastructure deployment & consolidation backend LAMP software development ad-hoc

automation scripting out of hours on-call cover. The AVERT (Anti-Virus Emergency Response

Team) division of McAfee is the core of McAfee's product development and back-office

service delivery. I worked on all back-end services and infrastructure in the ASE (Anti-

Spam Engineering) team within AVERT. I implemented and maintain comprehensive monitoring

of the ASE & AVERT infrastructure ( 500 hosts 2000 services) using Nagios and a custom

installation of my open source RRD monitoring software. For my RRD software see rrd
