	"summary": "As a build focused SRE, I was responsible for automating large scale deployment of storage servers in isolated colocation facilities. This required the design of a small footprint, easily deployable, and reproducible management stack that could support building out the rest of the environment. This supported not just the hardware provisioning, but supporting other platform teams that needed a stable foundation on which to stand up and run their automation.",

	"Converted manual step vendor documentation into orchestrated processes for standing up EMC Atmos object storage clusters. This involves steps like cleaning drives, ensuring only the primary node in a cluster is powered on, powering on secondary nodes one at a time until each node has joined the cluster in the desired order.",
	"In order to speed up OS install, built CPIO disk images or integrated kickstart/pre-seed templates for automated OS installation of EMC Atmos, EMC ECS, SLES, RedHat, Ubuntu, and VMWare operating systems."
