Summary
Chris Story is a seasoned Linux Systems Engineer with nearly three decades in computing and over a decade leading Linux operations for large-scale environments. He has managed thousands of Ubuntu servers running Apache, MySQL and proprietary services, built internal tooling including an inventory system and developer sandbox, and directed night-shift teams to ensure 24/7 coverage. His hands-on experience spans Linux and BSD distributions plus AIX, macOS and Windows, with practical networking tweaks on Cisco and Brocade switches. Comfortable across ops and dev tasks, he has written PHP/SQL-based tools and supported cross-platform hardware and backup systems. Now based in Groveland, Florida, he continues to pursue engineering roles where deep systems knowledge and pragmatic automation meet operational reliability. A lesser-known strength is his background in operations management and technical support dating back to the 1990s, which informs his emphasis on documentation, tooling and team training.
