Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrent Oswald is a seasoned senior engineer based in Austin with over two decades managing Linux systems and network infrastructure, specializing in Red Hat Linux and Cisco networking. He has a long track record of keeping high-availability environments online—from ISP operations and WISP services to enterprise cloud hosting—often owning end-to-end system, SAN, firewall, and VPN responsibilities. Comfortable as a hands-on troubleshooter and a small-team manager, he has been a point of escalation at Rackspace and architected private and public cloud deployments, backup/DR plans, and scaling operations. His strengths include rapid learning, analytical problem solving, and coordinating cross-functional changes to avoid operational collisions, and he brings practical M&A, purchasing, and auditing experience to technical decisions. An early adopter of Linux since 1996, he blends deep operational experience with a willingness to recertify on modern platforms and take on one-off, customer-driven engineering challenges.
