| 26 | +Open Infrastructure Services is founded by me, [Jeff McCune][jeff], a veteran |
| 27 | +systems administrator and software developer with over 15 years of experience. |
| 28 | +Before starting my consulting business I was at [Puppet Labs][puppetlabs] as a software |
| 29 | +developer working on [Puppet][puppet], [Facter][facter], [Puppet |
| 30 | +Server][puppet-server], and other internal tools like |
| 31 | +[crossfader](https://github.com/puppetlabs/crossfader). Prior to that, I was a |
| 32 | +professional services engineer at Puppet Labs, traveling the world working with |
| 33 | +customers and the open source community on matters of system architecture, |
| 34 | +availability, security, and continuous delivery workflows. |
| 35 | + |

| 38 | +</a> |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +While traveling for Puppet Labs, I also co-authored [Pro Puppet][pro-puppet], the |
| 41 | +best-selling book about how to quickly get started and then scale Puppet toward |
| 42 | +full automation. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Before Puppet Labs I worked at [Netsmart Technologies][ntst] where I was |
| 46 | +responsible for our hosted SaaS datacenters. Puppet and DevOps practices |
| 47 | +played a key part of my success at Netsmart. We were able to implement SAS-70 |
| 48 | +II compliance in a matter of months using a well defined change management |
| 49 | +process, and detailed automated reports integrated with Puppet and [Splunk][splunk]. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +Prior to Netsmart Technologies, I worked at the Mathematics Department at Ohio |
| 52 | +State University. There, I learned about automation, [cfengine][cfengine], |
| 53 | +started using [Puppet][puppet], and fully automated our Mac OS X workstations |
| 54 | +and labs. In order to achieve full automation for PowerPC and Intel based |
| 55 | +systems, I reverse engineered Apple's boot service discovery protocol and |
| 56 | +patched ISC DHCP to behave as an automated network boot server for Mac OS X. I |
| 57 | +presented on Puppet at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +Please [contact me][contact] if you have a need for professional, intelligent |
| 60 | +and creative solutions to the infrastructure problems that are holding you back |
| 61 | +from delivering your applications. |
