About me
Author / Developer / Leader / Team Builder
I am a technologist at heart, with a passion for writing code & books, and building high performing teams. I live in Atlanta, Georgia, though I had a Midwestern childhood in Southeast Ohio. Half of my childhood existed in the “analog 80s,” when the boombox was the technical marvel of envy, and the “tech 90s,” when consumer electronics started to boom, devices got smaller, CD players took over, and Internet access in your home was all the rage. You can find me online as either @ryanthomashuff or @NetworkNerd1337.
My technology career has taken me into many corners of the technology world, some connected and others juxtaposed. I have learned many technologies that have given me the foundation to build a profound and diverse skill set and career.
I have substantial experience with digital and analog voice technologies, small-medium and enterprise-sized routing and switching networks and deep capabilities with a variety of Microsoft, Linux and Mac operating systems. I started my tech career in the programming space and am fluent in multiple programming languages (compiled and interpreted).
I have experience leading and building network operations center teams, and I have served in multiple roles in the VAR/consultant space as both an IC/engineer and in leadership and sales. I have a penchant for building and leading high-performance teams, that execute on ideas and transform projects into successful business outcomes.
