Over the years, he has used PowerShell and various deployment tools to automate tasks and make life easier.
Derek has experience in a variety of technical roles including helpdesk, networking, and systems administration. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois, Springfield and is an AWS Certified Solution Architect. His real passion is DevOps. Focusing on CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code to automate complex tasks.
