About

Ferris Ferris

Hi there and welcome to my personal site!

My name is Shane R. Sofos. I am an enthusiastic Container Infrastructure Engineer, Application Infrastructure Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, Systems Engineer, Penguin Wrangler, Pythonist, Rubyist, Rustacean, GNU Herder, Midgardian, Westerosi, Child of Ilúvatar, and have deep experience and passion with automating computer applications and engineering software across the globe in a collaborative way.

I also have an autodidactic experience with the Linux Operating System and thoroughly enjoy using GNU/Linux for a variety of personal projects and hobbies, and in particular compiling different types of software.

The expansive and world changing engineering efforts of the Linux Kernel as the largest globally developed software project has and continues to provide daily inspiration to keep hacking, tinkering, developing, learning, sharing, creating, and having fun.

Identity Class/Struct

# Make some identities

  end

  def whoami
    puts "My name is #{@name}. " +
         "I am an enthusiastic #{@professions.join(', ')}."
