About
If you haven't guessed it already, my name is Colin Hamilton. ;) I'm 31 years old and currently a Backline Linux Engineer at SUSE. I have a beautiful wife named Tracey and together we're raising two amazing kids. The first is Jonah who's 10 years old and loves to play video games with his old man. The second is Bree who is 8 years old and loves to perform and show off her crafts. Life can get pretty busy, but when I have a moment to myself I enjoy listening to music while I read, write, philosophize, or play video games.
Backline Linux Support Engineer.
I have 9 years experience in creating, managing, and troubleshooting SUSE/Fedora and Debian flavored Linux systems. I treat every person with respect and my communication skills are top notch. I’m not afraid to go out of my comfort zone.
