Similar to smooge, I'm on the ops side primarily, but I do bounce
around and try to be flexible when needed.

Notable things over the last few months:
- Lots of newcloud work with Kevin, Jim, and Patrick
- Maintained and deployed the websites -- at least enough to get them
updated -- for the last few releases.
- Lots of on-call (especially the last few weeks while people were travelling)
- Lots of proxy rebuilding (tag-teamed these with Kevin to get them
updated to a non-EOL Fedora)
- Got our S3/cloudfront mirror sync working (though it has some issues
and is WIP)
- Focused and presented on some ideas for retaining contributors and
making infrastructure onboarding more interactive and appealing to
people. WIP.
- Calling in drives/problems to vendors and working with dcops to get
them taken care of.
- Maintain our modernpaste pastebin (which I'll have more to say about
at the next infra meeting)
- Maintain the (external) da.gd URL shortener, which Fedora uses in a
fair number of places nowadays
- Package maintenance, though I've been trying to do less of this.

More recent one-off type things, to give an idea of my quotidian work:
- Fixed our robots.txt in staging to make the wiki not be crawlable
- While doing that, discovered that for "reasons" our prod robots.txt
had a lotus-organizer mimetype. Fixed.
- Our GeoDNS stopped working due to GeoIP format change. Wrote a
script to parse and process the new format, and made it a bit better
than the old setup by adding ipv6.

Upcoming-ish plans:
- Experiment and help with eventual migration to RHEL8 by looking at
RHEL8-beta in various places and seeing how much pain getting our
ansible setup to work on it will be.
- Work with smooge(?) on getting some proxies in AWS/EC2.
- Websites work for F30/F31 releases
- Getting more apps in OpenShift

Random/outside of Fedora:
- I have a deep passion for statically typed functional
programming/type theory, and most of my non-Fedora FOSS contributions
are in that space.
- Relatedly, I'm a volunteer on the haskell.org infrastructure team,
though less active nowadays.
- I've taken to playing with various backend networking protocols
(bgp/igp, ospf, etc.) to learn about them with some friends using gre
tunnels.
- I play a few instruments with varying degrees of success.
- I swing dance, DJ swing dances, and run sound systems for live-band
swing dances
- I'm finishing my undergraduate degree (CS/Math dual major,
Linguistics minor); should be graduating in May.
- I have a dog, she keeps me busy.
