My name is David Fries and I go by DJ. I’m currently living in the beautiful state of Colorado! I am extremely passionate about all things technology, which includes: cloud engineering (GCP, AWS, DigitalOcean, and Azure, software development (Python, TypeScript, and Go), and Kuberenetes (bare-metal and cloud provider maanged).
I am currently looking for my next full-time opportunity. If you think I’d be a good fit for your team, please reach out to me via email or LinkedIn! I am only interested in remote positions at this time; mainly in the DevOps/Backend/Platform Engineering space.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife going on adventures around Colorado, playing video games, and thinking about the next project I want to work on.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:Software Development: Used Python to create a custom integration between our accounting software and a critical SaaS. CI/CD pipeline built with Gitlab to deploy our microservices to Kubernetes. Created an external API to synchronize data from a SaaS to our accounting software via SQL and custom modules. Implemented custom report dashboards with Python(Flask), Vue.js, and SQL. Automated various IT tasks such as employee on-boarding/off-boarding, paperless accounting batches audits with either PowerShell or Python depending on the required task.
