Summary
Ian Blais is a systems engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience administering Linux, Unix-like and Windows environments across enterprise and managed-services contexts. Currently at Vinebrook Technology after progressive roles in system administration and production support, he blends incident troubleshooting, backup/storage recovery, and automation to keep critical systems resilient and available. Comfortable across the stack—from Active Directory and identity tooling to nightly job orchestration—he’s pragmatic, curious, and quick to learn new open source tools.
