My big project from the past year or so has been a vRealize Automation implementation to streamline our server deployments, and I've been sharing some of what I've learned in that process here on Virtually Potato, primarily in the [vRA8 series of posts](/series/vra8). I don't have a strong development background (knowing just enough to be dangerous) so I do a lot of fumbling along the way, but I'm proud of my ability to _generally_ make things work the way I want them to. And hopefully some of the notes I've made along the way might help someone else with their own projects! -By night, I help out on Google's product support forums as a Product Expert, where I support Pixel phones, Pixel Buds, Chromebooks (especially Pixelbooks), Wear OS, Google Fit, and Stadia.
