As a DevOps/SRE engineer, I help operationalize and run web apps and microservices, along with all their "plumbing" such as load balancers, SSL certs, and HA DNS.
I've also been a senior SAP Basis admin, managing large production-critical systems relied on by thousands of business users.
Before I moved "up the stack" to apps I was a Linux, Unix, and Windows sysadmin, which gave me a good variety of technical challenges and was a big help later for SAP and web apps.
I grew up outside Buffalo NY and was always interested in computers, science, and nature. I went to college in nearby Syracuse NY, where I was fortunate enough to be on some very interesting projects and meet some great friends. My first full-time job was in Syracuse, but soon it was time to move on to bigger things and I found a great opportunity back home in Buffalo.
In my spare time I enjoy programming, history, fiction, OpenStreetMap, and complicated boardgames. When it's not winter I bike and run; for me the open road is the perfect place to think creatively about projects and challenges.
There are other Jeremy Monins on the web, of course. I'm not on soundcloud, twitter, pinterest or youtube, but another Jeremy is.
