My name's James Anslow and I'm a developer from the United
Kingdom. My
IRC handle is janslow. My skills are focused on the web; development
and maintenance of web systems both in terms of code and
infrastructure.
I have been working as a full time developer for some 5 years, almost
entirely focused on private commercial projects. I have always used
open source software; a mix of Fedora, CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. I am
now looking to contribute back to the communities that I have
benefited from.
I have experience working with many of the tools used by the Fedora
infrastructure team. I recently implemented an Ansible environment for
my employer, where there was formerly no automation system in place.
Day to day I also work with apache, nginx, mysql, mongodb, varnish,
memcache, nagios, observium and a plethora of development tools and
misc. technologies.
I currently manage a relatively small fleet of servers. (~30) I am
most interested in learning more about managing infrastructure at
scale. I think that I can contribute to the Fedora project and
hopefully broaden my knowledge in a way that I would not otherwise be
able to in my day job.
In terms of tickets that I would like to look at, I would like to
start here:

Because debugging APIs is a comfortable starting point to get my feet
wet given my experience and skills.
