Brandon Katzir

I work in higher education IT, with a focus on infrastructure, cloud operations, identity, and systems integration. My background includes both academic teaching and hands-on systems administration, and I’m interested in the practical challenges of making institutions run more efficiently where technology is a value add rather than a point of friction.

I work on Linux, Azure and AWS, scripting, APIs, and the often messy hodgepodge of institutional technologies. I spend a lot of time thinking about automationa and documentation as well as the maintenance of systems that have accumulated years of assumptions, exceptions, and dependencies.

This is a site where I write about that, talk about concepts relating to technology in organizations, things that I’ve done that work and don’t work, and other things that interest me.
