== Introduction

Hello! My name is Brent Saner, and I have a passion for technology.
I don't mean I enjoy playing with the latest gadgets, I mean a *passion*.

I read RFCs and man pages for fun (so much so that
https://git.square-r00t.net/OpTools/tree/ref/rfc.py[I wrote an RFC client^]. 
I have a https://git.square-r00t.net/[large amount of projects^] I work on in my free time. I have a VM lab and 
my home network is segmented into five different VLANs, on-site and remote backups, PXE-bootstrapped 
https://ipxe.org/[iPXE^], with 10Gbps house backbone using 802.1X backed by RADIUS and LDAP, all with a 
full x86_64 Linux 1U as my border device. For a home network.

With this, combined with my *18 years* of professional Linux/UNIX experience (*21 years* hobbyist), I've learned a few
tricks around the ol' rodeo. Because of my adherence to and knowledge of best practices, care for forward-thinking, and
sheer joy I take in solving potentially difficult problems, it is my goal (and particular knack) to get your company's
infrastructure and services smooth and stable while retaining flexibility for vast growth.

I have directly applicable experience with, and seek out opportunities in, systems operations in the following roles:

* Linux Systems Engineer
* Linux Systems Administrator
* Infrastructure Architect
