Hi, my name is Henry!

I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer at TED, maintain a Tech Enthusiast Scholarship, created New Haven Relief Resources, and occasionally award devs with Henry Gives Coffee.

Some friends and I run NewHaven.IO and if you're somewhat local, I hope you'll come join our Discord server.

I made an eLearning course called Intro to Server Administration, and love to help people learn.

Please hit me up if you want to collab on anything!
