I've previously held roles as a full stack web developer in the age before git and modern frameworks, writing e-commerce websites in ASP.NET and PHP. I transitioned into "operations" work which I find more enjoyable, and now work extensively with (and apply software development practices to) Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Terraform, Ansible, Linux.
