Hello. As my bio implies, I’m an applications engineer currently working at Wells Fargo Bank. I hope that doesn’t turn some people away. I was not, and will never be, part of that problem. I’m in IT not sales or management.
As a senior developer on my team, I work in many different enterprise-level environments, including Autosys (for job scheduling), Perl (for many, many different things - ask me), and Oracle SQL and PL/Sql development, among others. (The size of these environments, well, are massive, with data centers all over the world.) I deal with high-speed connectivity to and from our environments, including downstream and upstream vendors, as well as internal customers. I am also part of many design and planning meetings on a daily basis. I’m also involved with database backups (multi-terabyte+) and refreshes into lower environments for development, SIT, UAT, etc. And I play a role with coordination and cooperation with application vendors and their on-site and remote consultants, and security.
Despite all of this I’m still a developer at heart. I’ve developed and sold applications on the Commodore PET, VIC20 and 64, Ohio Scientific Instruments Challenger 2P (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_Scien...), Radio Shack TRS-80, IBM 360, 370, and Model 3 (using punch cards), and of course, the IBM-PC (in a thousand different variations).
Currently, I use a Dell laptop (IBM PC descendant) with multiple monitors for my work work, and I have two personal laptops, one with Windows 10 and the other Linux Mint 19.
So that’s a very quick introduction to my data processing (as we old timers used to call it) background. I love to talk shop with anyone and am looking forward to joining the discussions here on dev.to.

Hello Randy!
Glad to see a Perl coder and one who knows what 5"1/4 floppy disk looked like ;-)
I wish you a pleasant stay, hope to hear from you here...
Yep, sure do. It’s good to see another Perl coder here. I think we’re a rare breed these days.
