👋 Hi There!

I'm Brian Brookman, an IT engineer located in Southern California who specializes in Networking, Cloud, and Kubernetes. I help people build and operate scalable, resilient IT infrastructures.

Most of my publicly available work can either be found on GitHub or on this site. I’m also active in a number of online communities.

When I’m AFK, I enjoy being bad at My Hobbies and spending time with my girlfriend and our cats.

To find and connect with me elsewhere on the interwebz, see My Profiles.
