Summary
George Murdocca is a seasoned software and Linux systems engineer with 13+ years of experience spanning DevOps, cloud, Big Data and InfoSec, based in Sydney. He has managed CI/CD and configuration for ~1000 Linux systems in a competitive financial environment and deployed multiple Hadoop clusters for processing large financial datasets. Practically fluent in Python and Bash, he combines orchestration tools (Puppet, SaltStack, Ansible, Docker) with AWS IaC (Terraform) to automate complex, production-grade pipelines. His InfoSec background includes kernel-level hardening, PCI-DSS consulting and forensic investigation, giving him a strong security-first approach to infrastructure. An open-source contributor and founder of linuxdojo.com, he blends hands-on engineering with training and product-minded thinking. Less obvious: he pairs deep kernel and networking fundamentals with applied automation to solve both performance and compliance challenges in high-stakes environments.
