DEVOPS & CLOUD NATIVE PLATFORM ENGINEER

Andrew S Thompson
Achievement oriented CLI professional: Performance-focused IT leader with over 10 years of experience providing forward-
thinking technical research with detail oriented analytical skills. Through extensive troubleshooting for root cause analysis I
continue to gain the edge in profound understanding of systems w/ the ability to provision, develop, implement and operate
solutions contributing to verbose technical documentation and integration. I enjoy it, analyzing problems and solving them
effectively most times differently.
