Mike Peters - Bio and Blog
Dad, Retail Survivor, and Training Specialist for Akamai, Inc.
After many successful years in retail sales and management, a career opportunity presented itself. At the height of COVID lockdowns, I was referred to apply for a job as a Support Specialist with Linode (acquired by Akamai, April 2022). I took a chance and grew from our Support team to a Training Specialist in a couple of short years. Working in this role, with the talented group of people that I'm surrounded by, has allowed me to tap into my passion for training, learning, and coaching.
I am also very fortunate to be a father to a beautiful girl. She’s growing fast and both impresses and challenges me each and every day.
This site largely serves as an excuse to maintain a server and do some routine work, while sharing some musings of mine as filler content.
