Short Bio:
While in college I worked part time at the National Institute of Standards and Technology where I spent a significant amount of time working with various Unixes and was introduced to Red Hat Linux. After graduation, I took a position with IBM Training teaching classes on Unix and Linux systems administration as well as Perl and Bash scripting.
In July 2001 I moved to Red Hat and taught the RHCE curriculum. Throughout my career at Red Hat, I've been an instructor, course content author, worked on the certification exam team, been a people manager, and, most recently, the product manager for Online Training.
I earned my RHCE in 2000 on Red Hat Linux 6.2 (no no, not RHEL, Red Hat Linux).
Hobbies:
As I'm impossibly old, beyond breaking hips and shaking my cane at kids to "Get off my lawn!" I enjoy reliving my own childhood with my two young children (Legos, NERF Battles, sword fights, crafts, etc.) and my time serving in a State Guard unit (a provincial unit for those of you outside the US). AATW!
Appassionate of technologies, hacking systems since 1987 with my first 64k memory computer, I've never been far from any computer.
I love learning and to be able to teach the things I learn.
I entered in the Red Hat world, officially, in 2011 when I started delivering the Red Hat Linux System Administration courses, as I had some experience with programming I started to deliver the JBoss courses.
Now I am focused on OpenShift related courses and also I collaborated with some components on the community. I love it!
Hey everyone! My name is Kevin and I am a Training Sales Specialist based out of the Red Hat Tower in Raleigh, NC. As someone who typically focuses on the big picture of training and the value it provides, I am looking forward to jumping into some more techincal conversations and learning more about the technologies.
Hi This is Shiv Hari. I am instructor based out Red Hat India New Delhi. Current responsibilities include delivering platform courses and Devops courses to customers in APAC. Feeling great to part of RHLC. Thanks
I'm going to blatantly copy Ricardo/Will's format for this one . . . sort of . . .
Who I am:
I'm the guy that designs/shepherds the classroom environment that our courses are based on. My overriding goal has been for the continuity/singularity of courseware that operates the same way for in-person instructor led training and for self-paced students in our online modalities.
Where I'm based:
Connecticut, United States (metro-New York - NOT Boston - don't ask me about baseball/football).
My workstation:
Lenovo Thinkpad running our internal "CSB" which is currently RHEL 7.4 based, but let's be honest.... I have multiple racks of hardware....
The discipline I enjoy the most is:
Honestly, I get jazzed about hearing from instructors and students who have had a good experience with our lab environment, but I am also challenged (and enjoy) hearing about the less than stellar experiences as it keeps me moving forward!!
My favorite course to teach:
Unfortunately, I don't currently teach which is a whole *other thing* with my management, but I love getting to meet with instructors and students in person to interact and explore improvements in our environment.
My favorite toy as a kid:
Honestly, I'm old. I enjoyed playing tennis (and platform tennis/paddle) outdoors long before I learned about what a computer was, though I'm a *big* fan of Star Trek: The Original Series as a kid.
In My Spare Time, I . . .
talk with dead people.... My current favorite hobby is to do family research (genealogy). Actually I started doing this when I was only ten years old, so it has been an all-consuming hobby though my family sould call it an obsession!
