My name is Jacob Frericks, and I'm a DevSecOps engineer. I have a passion for automating annoying/tedious tasks. You can see a full list of what I am up to below. If you found value in something I have created, please feel free to send a tip, give me a shout out @JacobFrericks_, or give some ♥ on dev.to/jacobfrericks!
