Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Smith is a systems programmer with 12 years of experience who blends hands-on Linux systems administration with DevOps practices to modernize campus infrastructure. At NC State he led large migrations and automation efforts—building Foreman provisioning, Puppet modules, and an InfluxDB TICK stack—to cut server provisioning from two work days to one hour and migrate hundreds of domains while achieving PCI compliance for logging services. He focuses on eliminating technical debt by changing team workflows and introducing version-controlled configuration, turning fragile firefighting into repeatable, auditable operations. With a background in nuclear electronics and reactor operations in the US Navy and a BS in Nuclear Engineering Technology, he brings a discipline for process, safety, and documentation that informs his approach to systems reliability. Now transitioning further into cloud and DevOps environments, he combines institutional IT experience with a pragmatic automation mindset to accelerate teams toward modern tooling.
