Hello, my name is Evaristo. I have been studying to take the EX200 exam.  Thank you for welcoming me to this community.   I look forward learning more about RedHat,  I like learning new technologies and I like teaching and helping colleagues on their learning.  I am soon going to take the EX200 exam and would like your recommendations into materials that were helpful to prepar for this exam. Have a great day.

Who I am
Community Manager for Red Hat's Enable Architect site under Brand Experience, on the Digital Communities team 

Based in
Wake Forest, NC 

Background
I've been in marketing tech for almost 4 years. I've been with Red Hat for almost two years, and I learn something new every day. Being that I do not have a technical background, I learn from the technologists I connect with on a daily basis. 

Skills I want to develop
Enable Architect is dedicated to systems architecture. While it'll take me years to develop the skills a systems architect or engineer has curated over the years, I do want to understand the essential building blocks of good architecture so I can better support the architect community I help serve. To me, my job is more than helping architects publish their work. With that said, I'd like to nurture my technical writing abilities, because if you can write about what you learn, you really know what you're talking about ;) 

Fun facts
I am a visual artist. But movies are my passion and I'm trying to build up some screen-writing skills on the side! :)

Hey all,

My name is Brian Justin, I work at Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland.  I recently took a job as a Linux Sys Admin, and it is a great foot in the door.  I have used Linux at home for several years, running a physical machine and a small VM lab.  This is my first job using RHEL hands on every day, so I'm learning a ton literally every day.  In my spare time I enjoy golfing, I've taught a few BBQ grilling classes locally, and of course I love video games!  My future goals are first to obtain my CompTIA Linux+, and then get my RHCSA.  My job wants me to stand up a Satellite server so I will study that after my RHCSA work.  Glad to be here!
