Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Tickle is an IT leader and systems-minded engineer with 20 years of experience modernizing research and enterprise infrastructure at Appalachian State University, where he currently manages Linux and research systems. He combines hands-on DevOps—Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, F5 LTM—and full-stack deployment experience for Java, Node, Python and PHP with practical database tuning and HPC administration. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, Jeff often prefers process and people coordination over writing more code, yet seeks a return to full-stack development with interests in C# and Rust and a background in embedded constraints. He has a track record of migrating legacy custom codebases to CI/CD and enabling hybrid operations (notably steering an amateur radio club through a rapid COVID-era digital transition), demonstrating both technical depth and change leadership.
