Top SchoolTodd Balsley is a Senior Linux System Administrator with nearly three decades of hands-on experience managing Linux and Windows environments and nine years focused in production roles supporting carrier-grade services. At Cox Communications he is the primary support for servers running customer VOIP and SIP trunking services, blending deep systems engineering with scripting skills in Python, Perl, Ruby, JavaScript, and bash.
