But what technologies does he use?

Technologies I Use Everyday

Ruby

Everyday I use Ruby for everything from writing new tools to automation to web development

Amazon Web Services

Currently almost all of the infrastructure that I interact with is in AWS. Everything from EC2 to RDS to ECS to EKS. Provisioning everything using infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred).

Git

Source control is important and so is having a good workflow for using it. I have experience with SVN and Mercurial, but personally like Git and use it everyday.

Linux

I live and breathe Linux. I have been configuring and running Linux servers for about 15 years, over half of that professionally.
