I’m Kelly Brazil and I dabble in a few interests, including music and tech spanning network security, open source projects, song writing, guitar, and Oxford commas. I’m particularly proud of my most popular Open Source Software project, jc, which is used in production around the world to simplify the lives of engineers. I’ve recently rekindled my love of making and performing music and had a blast performing at my 50th birthday party. I also just released a new single on the major streaming platforms called Breaking Apart.
Welcome to my blog – I’ll get the urge to write on one of these topics from time to time and I encourage open dialogue.
