Welcome Ottomators!

I’m new to the product and would love to have an Otto for my desk.Loving it so far!

You’re not all scripts and servers all the time. What’s one underrated hobby or passion you pursue outside IT that surprises people when you mention it? It could be something totally unexpected (any astrophotographers or ant farmers out there?) or something more lowkey that helps you unwind after a long day.I’ll start: I enjoy training my 1.5 year old Golden Retriever named Gravy! It’s fun to teach him new tricks and skills. Sometimes they’re helpful in real life and sometimes they’re not. :)   

Hello, my name is Chris.  I’ve completed all 3 exams:  Automox Level I Essentials, Automox Level II Practitioner, and Automox Level II Pro.  Now I’m working on getting as many points as I can in the new Otto HQ.

Hi everyone!My name is Phil, I am a Cyber Security Lead focussing on the engineering and architecture side (though I dabble in a bit of everything!).

Hello there, my name is Chad Lewis and I just joined the Automox team today (Jan 2nd). I am a Senior Software Engineer and will be helping with the agent team going forward. In the past I was the team lead for the macOS endpoint product provided by Webroot (now OpenText), and most recently I was a member of the agent team for a startup called Todyl where I worked on Windows, macOS, and Linux. I am excited to be here and hope to be active in the forums once I have a strong grasp on my domains! I think developers being present and active are an important aspect of building trust in a community such as this! Feel free to reach out if you ever want to connect and talk!edit: This is not a question, sorry haha

I look forward to getting to know everyone here. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions for me.

I thought it would be fun to have some additional questions each quarter that we could all respond to here in our welcome category! “Tell us a bit about yourself” is always a little too broad. So the question is: What's a fun project you're working on outside of work? By creating an account and answering this discussion question (or simply introducing yourself like normal) you will be entered to win a new Lego Otto set! Our employees have been going wild for these Lego sets so I think you’ll love them too!

I am a Security Engineer working for an MSP in Washington state.  We currently use Automox for Patch Management and some application deployments.The most recent items we have also been using Automox for is to force Teams to shut down prior to Patching as users tend to leave Teams open, causing conflicts in the update process.We also use Automox to quickly uninstall applications globally and it works so much better than Microsoft or trying to do things manually.
