Top SchoolJames Shewey is a senior systems engineer with 10+ years building and operating highly available, scalable infrastructure across Linux, networking, and PKI environments. Based in Salt Lake City, he has led migrations from legacy RHEL/Solaris to CentOS, deployed configuration management with Foreman/Puppet/SaltStack, and managed Oracle RAC/Data Guard and Drupal clusters for enterprise production environments. His hands-on background includes load balancer design (A10/F5), HSM and Vault deployments, DNS migrations, and troubleshooting across 150–700 host fleets, giving him a rare blend of application, network, and security ops expertise.
