Introduction
Hello Folks and welcome to J. Markowitz Tech Insights.
I plan on sharing knowledge of various topics in the IT community, mostly pertaining to Operating Systems, Network, Cloud, Configuration Automation, as well as discussing what works and what doesn't.
A bit about me:
I'm a Systems, Network, Cloud and General IT Guy from the greater New York City area. I've worked in the IT Field for over 13 years and have been privileged to touch and work with many different facets of the IT industry as well as some very interesting projects.
I pride myself on creating value (or at least trying to!) and solving difficult problems with technology
Outside of IT, I'm an avid outdoorsman, surf fisherman, and Jeep enthusiast. I'm drawn to almost anything mechanical.
My Approach:
I'm a firm believer that if your business relies on or is IT (such as social media, ecommerce, etc) that one should carefully evaluate new technologies and truly put them through their paces before implementing them in a production environment. The rapid pace in which this industry evolves and changes requires additional prudence to ensure that we, as technologists and engineers become an enabling function to the business we're supporting by delivering well thought out, secure, stable, and effective solutions while at the same time while remaining competitive.
In other words, attempt to become a subject matter expert at the technologies in your charge and become "businesses best friend"
Thanks for taking the time read this introduction!
