These are some of the companies and projects I have worked and/ or am still working on:

dellhw_exporter - Author

Prometheus exporter for Dell Hardware components using the Dell OMSA.

The exporter was originally made by PrFalken. Due to some issues in the code, I rewrote the whole exporter using the "node_exporter" pattern and therefore moved it from being a fork out, to a standalone repository.
