Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDennis Stout is an experienced Linux systems engineer and technical lead with nine years in enterprise and mission-critical environments, currently overseeing enterprise Linux operations and ITSM processes at Leidos. He combines deep hands-on expertise across Linux and Windows server stacks, storage platforms, virtualization, containerization, and networking with a strong security focus—implementing CSET, FISMA, and NIST 800-53 controls and system hardening at scale. His background supporting human spaceflight mission control and authoring NASA workmanship-training materials reflects an uncommon blend of operational rigor, standards-driven documentation, and hands-on hardware skills (fiber, soldering, cable harnessing). Dennis is proficient in automation and RESTful integrations, has led large data migrations and storage estates, and mentors engineering teams while participating in change control and architecture transitions. A mathematician by training (B.S./M.S.), he pairs analytical problem solving with practical engineering, and outside of enterprise work describes himself playfully as a Godot game developer on GitHub—hinting at a creative side that complements his systems craftsmanship.
