Justin Cook

I have over eighteen years of operational, engineering and architectural experience in large distributed systems. My experience has always focused on UNIX-based infrastructures. Skilled in mission-critical environments, I possess a large portfolio of accomplishments, assertive communications and strong problem-solving skills.

I was awarded a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for outstanding service on a US Trident ballistic missile submarine. Then, I was selected as the subject-matter expert for the US Navy's next-generation submarine networks.

After my time in the US Navy, I was selected to modernise and establish technical direction for a British trade aggregation and risk portfolio software company in Moscow, Russia. Working for the largest commodity trading company and fund managers in London, I provided complex system provisioning, monitoring and authored sophisticated system orchestration software. My systems accounted for trading positions totaling 50 billion USD annually.

Fluent in continuous integration / continuous delivery approaches and immutable infrastructure patterns in agile environments, I hold a B.S. in Computer Science from Eastern Connecticut State University and am a Red Hat Certified Systems Engineer.
