Hello Everybody 😎, 👋My name is Hector Fabio Jimenez Saldarriaga @h3ct0rjs , but you can call me H or Hector. I’m from the beautiful🌠country of Colombia 🌎. I’m Currently working as a Site Reliability Engineer at GoDaddy Inc, I have also been in other roles in the past like CloudOps/NetOps/DevOps🥷 Engineer, having the opportunity to work with some awesome technologies and different Cloud Providers like AWS, Azure, GCP and different Datacenters providers for CDNs. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Computer and Systems Engineering and an Electrical Technology bachelor’s degree from Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira.
