Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard P is a Senior Systems Administrator with a decade of hands-on experience designing, automating, and operating production infrastructure across datacenters and cloud environments. He combines systems engineering and software development skills—especially Python and Ansible—to automate large-scale RHEL/CentOS fleets, manage Oracle RAC, and drive containerization efforts using Docker, Rancher, and Kubernetes. At Plexus he led complex migrations and stabilized fragile applications with zero unexpected downtime, and at MercuryGate he owned deployment automation, backup migration to AWS Glacier, and SSO automation with Keycloak. Comfortable translating technical complexity for diverse stakeholders, he also builds monitoring and reporting pipelines (CloudWatch, custom Ansible reports) to surface operational insights. Based in Cary, NC, he pairs a pragmatic, service-focused mindset with a track record of turning manual operational tasks into repeatable, auditable systems.
