// about

The engineer who built it, runs it, and wrote the book on it.

I'm Matt Fitzgerald — founder of Fitzgerald Tech Solutions, author of Live Life Automated and Geeking Out, and a practitioner-first technologist who has spent 10+ years automating everything automatable.

Before FTS, I was DevOps Engineering Manager at Abacus Group, where I automated 250+ hours/month of manual work and deployed ServiceNow to 35,000 end users. Before that, Entara — where a ticket triage ML classifier I built won a Phoenix Award in 2024. I'm not a consultant who read the books. I'm the one who wrote them.
