O Thompson Chad: Chad Thompson is a software developer, architect, and DevOps specialist in Central Iowa. He has 15 years of experience in creating and deploying applications for the Web. Chad began using Vagrant 3 years ago when he was trying to solve a tough problem in legacy application development. Since then, he has made use of Vagrant and configuration management tools to support the development and deployment of several web applications in data centers and cloud platforms. He holds certifications in Puppet and Oracle technologies and has enjoyed the pleasure of speaking before several technical conferences and camps. Chad holds two degrees in physics and can be found playing low brass instruments in ensembles around the state of Iowa. Chad has written articles for O'Reilly web publications and the IOUG SELECT Journal (where he briefly worked as an executive editor). Recently, he reviewed the book Creating Development Environments with Vagrant for Packt Publishing, and recorded a set of video presentations titled Learning Git by Infinite Skills.
