I've always been a writer, even since I was a little kid. The topics I publish here are directly related to the projects and technologies that I work on every day. There may come a day when I have when I publish about more things than just work, but for now this blog is mostly work related.

Dangers Lurking in Cloud Environments

This guide provides an overview of most common problems we see when performing cloud security assessments. It also includes steps to help prevent these common problems.

Need For Cloud Security Assessment

The cloud has become the backbone of modern infrastructure, with a different set of risks than traditional on-premises systems. At Triaxiom we approach every cloud assessment with a clear, proven methodology designed to deliver practical outcomes, not just paperwork.

Infrastructure Modernization

Moving to the cloud means more than simply relocating servers from on-premises to cloud data centers, as in the traditional “Lift and Shift”.

Benefits of PaaS

Managed services and global availability are the major benefits of cloud technology, and what separate the “cloud” from traditional hosting providers.

Cloud Service Delivery Models

The cloud allows for many design patterns and architectural options not readily available to on-premises data centers. There are several delivery models of cloud services that should be considered to develop an effective cloud strategy.

AWS Storage Gateway

We built a file gateway to create a file interface that enables us to store files as objects in Amazon S3 using the industry-standard NFS protocols. Files are transferred to S3 STANDARD_IA because the majority of our documents are infrequently accessed. Because they are native S3 objects, we can then apply our bucket policies for lifecycle management.

My MVP Template

I often find myself building out quick one off web app MVP’s/prototpes and wanted a template to help decrease implementation time. For the simplest projects I have been using nodejs on the backend, angular on the frontend, postgres as the database, and hosting on Heroku.

Masters Thesis

Back in 2008, I graduated with honors from East Tennessee State University with a BS degree in Computer Science. I went on to complete the masters program and recieved an MS in Computer Science, also with honors.

My First Code

Do you have a copy of the first code you ever wrote? I do.

The 80's

I’ve been working on computers since the last eighties, and prgramming since the mid-nineties. It all started with word processing on wordstar, and some of the earliest pc games like ninja, abm (missle command clone), oregon trail, and carmen sandiego. Back then everything was command line, and I leared a lot by configuring, misconfiguring, and ultimetly fixing my mistakes.
