I currently work for Omnicom as macOS Endpoint Engineer. I manage a small number of Jamf servers, but a very large number of macOS Endpoints and ABM servers!
I maintain the managed Git repo’s for automated tooling, backups and our AutoPKG instance.
I built a tool to manage 65 Apple Business Managers during the migration of 20,000 Macs. That was after we migrated the first 20,000 Macs from one Jamf to our primary.
Before Omnicom I ran the print and video Studio for 180 Amsterdam. From 2000-2010, along with TBWA, we were the adidas Agency Of Record. That was fun!
