Scott Vranesh-Fallin

Based in Las Vegas, Nevada and living with my wife of 20 years and our two rescue cats, I'm an open source technologist by vocation and a visual anthropologist/writer/photographer by avocation. I have interests in systems and in the small rituals that make up everyday life.

Professionally, I work across Linux administration, automation (Ansible, Terraform, Python, Ruby, Scheme, and BASH), and databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, and NoSQL solutions).

Outside of that, I'm drawn to the camera and the notebook in equal measure—documenting the ordinary as closely as the extraordinary.

This site is a home for both halves of that work: the writing and the watching.

As to technology, you can find examples of code I've worked on at my GitHub account.

A lifelong martial artist, I am a 3rd Kyū (green belt) in Aikido, and a 4th Kyũ (blue belt) in Judo. I currently train in Libre Knife Fighting Guild where I am working through and studying the journeyman materials. I enjoy Libre Fighting becuase of it's Iaido (a form I am 8th Kyũ in) inspired nature and the fact that I can train in a corner of my home office both after work and during breaks.
