To whom it may concern,

My name is Joshua Boniface, and I'm writing here to apply for your open position of Analyst I&TS Support. I am a driven, service-oriented individual with a strong knowledge of Linux administration and computer networking. I enjoy working with a strong team, and am independent and goal focused, always seeking out new knowledge to broaden my skill set and contribute to more efficient and well-operating systems. My deep knowledge of Linux systems, automation and scripting, and standard administration practices allows me to focus effectively on key problems and ensure continued successful operations. I am well-versed in scripting and orchestration in a modern DevOps framework and have experience running small- to mid-sized computing environments of up to several thousand VMs and terabytes of storage, with user counts above 10k per day and 2k requests per minute, as well as experience with a traditional enterprise-style IT team and help desk. While my experience is primary on the Linux and DevOps side, I have strong familiarity with all manner of Microsoft and UNIX-based systems, as well as internetworking and the TCP/IP stack. I hope to use this experience to better the world and my home province of Ontario, and the mandate of the IESO aligns strongly with this desire. I hope to be a part of your team and help keep the lights on so-to-speak!

Thank you for your time,
Joshua Boniface
Systems Administrator
