Hi, Aly. Yep, I’m in Dallas, but I work remotely as a devops engineer for a company in the northeast that provides backup and disaster recovery. I’ve also worked mostly in ed tech and telecom. I’ve worked a little with k8s, but not in production… my specialty has been developer experience — pipelines, automation, dev environment configuration, reducing friction and pain. Are you active in any local user groups, meetups, etc? I used to go to DevOps Live in Plano, but COVID shut it down and it’s only just now trying to start back up. We resumed meeting in October, but took Nov and Dec off due to anticipated low attendance over holidays.
