Dayton Jones

Hi there! I'm a DevOps Engineer with over 20 years of experience driving innovation in various domains, from software development to infrastructure optimization. My journey blends a unique mix of technical expertise, creative problem-solving, and a deep love for crafting elegant solutions that make a difference.

What I Do

I'm currently building my blog, My Digital Brew, a platform that reflects my blend of creativity and technology. As a engineer, I thrive on turning ideas into reality, whether it's designing a sleek FastAPI web app, optimizing cloud architectures, or diving into automation with Python and Bash.

My Interests

• Software Development: I enjoy crafting scalable and secure applications using modern frameworks like FastAPI and integrating tools like Tailwind CSS to make them visually engaging.
• DevOps & Cloud: With extensive AWS expertise, I specialize in EC2 instance management, AMI creation, multi-region syncing, and more.
• Open Source & Collaboration: I value community and collaboration, leveraging tools like Git, Neovim, and Docker to stay efficient and share knowledge.
• Brewing Creativity: Beyond code, I dabble in mead-making, exploring unique recipes like Orange Creamsicle and Lemon-infused batches.
• Tech Advocacy: I aim to simplify complex processes, such as database lifecycle policies or IAM visualization, ensuring better performance and accessibility for users.

Fun Projects

• Skål App: A recipe management and brewing assistant built with FastAPI and Jinja templating.
• Coding Tools: I'm also working on a project to create a drag-and-drop development tool, inspired by Microsoft Visual Basic, to empower anyone to build Python applications.

Connect with Me

When I'm not coding or brewing, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and collaborating with like-minded enthusiasts. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss a project, explore ideas, or just chat about tech and brewing.
