Summary
Herman Strom is a Senior Linux Systems Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience designing, operating, and automating large-scale Linux infrastructures across government and enterprise environments. He brings deep expertise in Debian/Ubuntu and RHEL/CentOS platforms, virtualization (KVM/XEN/VMware), storage and SAN, networking, and configuration management with Ansible and Git-driven workflows. Herman has a strong track record supporting mission-critical Web Operations Centers (notably NOAA) and NOC tooling stacks including CheckMK/Nagios, Netcool and HP Network Automation at scale. Equally comfortable scripting in Bash, Perl, Python and Ruby, he marries low-level systems troubleshooting with repeatable automation and monitoring practices. Based in Maryland, he combines practical data-center know-how with experience integrating authentication, replication, and high-availability systems—often in highly regulated or uptime-sensitive contexts.
