Hi there; I’m Alex.
Currently I work at MenuTrinfo; we provide menu analysis for menus, food safety training for restaurants, and alergen free certifications for kitchens. Uniquely, our office runs primarly in an Ubuntu linux desktop environment. My work focuses around enabling the team members by updaing the existing python code base, setting up and deploying new desktops and servers, and creating new tools and functions to make others work easier and more efficient.
Previous to MenuTrinfo I was employed at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. I started in 2015 and managed HPE’s internal Debian and CoreOS derivatives, from creation to deployment.
Most of my programing experience is self taught along side work projects. Most recently creating an API for managing and taking multiple choice tests. Other self driven projects including writing a discord bot that presents data and analytics taken from public API’s, and studying betting strategies for a few different casino games.
When I’m not writing code behind a computer, I do Live Action Role Play (LARP) with a group called Amtgard. I have held various administrative and support positions to run the local organization. This helps lead to other fun hobbies such as staying fit, sewing, and other types of crafting.
