Austin, Texas, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Newman is a pragmatic contract developer and security-minded systems engineer with 10+ years delivering resilient Linux/FreeBSD infrastructure, automation, and tooling from Austin, Texas. He specializes in Perl-driven backends, MariaDB schema design, and migrating legacy services into Kubernetes-based microservices while operating largely on bare-metal Ubuntu. His background spans hands-on security work—Nessus/Tenable, OpenVAS, BigFix, Splunk—and network firewall/VPN expertise with pfSense, Juniper and Cisco, giving him a rare blend of dev, ops and vulnerability-mitigation experience. He’s built automation at scale (VMware clusters, SaltStack, custom installers) and often authors one-off scripts that became core operational plumbing. Notably comfortable operating across the entire stack, he frequently bridges gaps between security findings and pragmatic remediation rather than handing problems off.
