Collin Campbell: DevOps Engineer / Linux System Administrator

Linux. Automation. Infrastructure.

I make computers behave. You focus on building.

I'm a senior Linux system administrator and DevOps engineer. I keep production infrastructure running, automate the repetitive work, and help developers deploy reliably. More than two decades of real-world experience, most of it in production.

Currently available for remote Linux / DevOps roles, contract engagements and freelance infrastructure projects.

DevOps & CI/CD
