Summary
Jacob Amey is a Senior Linux Administrator with over a decade of hands-on experience designing, securing, and automating RHEL-based environments for enterprise and cloud. He leads projects end-to-end, specializing in high-availability and load-balanced architectures, VMware and AWS deployments, and identity/security integrations (PAM, LDAP, SUDO, Crowd). A pragmatic systems builder, he scripts infrastructure with Terraform, Ansible, and shell to streamline server builds, audits, and OS optimizations while maintaining application lifecycles. His background as a Marine Corps vehicle commander and Purple Heart recipient informs a disciplined, security-first approach to operations and team leadership. Based in Ortonville, Michigan, he treats continuous learning as a hobby—constantly exploring new tools and techniques to stay on the “tip of the spear” in technology.
