If you need high quality, high impact, compelling media content that is emotionally engaging and visually evocative, then you are recommended to seek out Danny O-K at DEKO 37, 210-573-7386.

I know Danny as the hardest working videographer in San Antonio, but he might be best known for delivering positive media for exceptional clients.

Danny is most proud of the work he does that benefits the local civilian, military, and veteran community in the San Antonio area. A few that come to mind are his recent projects working with the San Antonio Housing Authority (SAHA), the United States Air Force (USAF), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). (The work that Danny has done with the USAF and the VA has not yet been released for public consumption, but expect to see it in the near future.)

The San Antonio Housing Authority (SAHA) competed in the Wireless Innovation for a Networked Society (WINS) competition. The competition, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Mozilla, was an opportunity for communities to bring forth innovative ideas on bridging the digital divide. SAHA devised a solar-powered Wi-Fi network prototype, dubbed Solar Mesh And Re-engineered Technology Innovation (SMARTI), which would be leveraged to provide greater Internet access in the 50-Acre Cassiano Housing Project, where it is estimated that only ten percent of the residents have Internet access (Flahive, 2018). According to an Express News report, 42 percent of residents in the 78207 zip code (where Cassiano is located) live in poverty (Stoeltje, 2017).

SAHA had a compelling story to tell, and enlisted Danny OK of Deko37 to help them tell their story. By leveraging Danny OK's expert videography skills, SAHA was able to secure a $100,000 grant to help the Cassiano Housing Project, and deliver Internet access to an estimated 13,500 residents (Mozilla and National Science Foundation, 2018) (Flahive, 2018).

If you want high quality, high impact, compelling media content that is emotionally engaging and visually evocative, then you are recommended to seek out Danny O-K at DEKO 37, 210-573-7386. If you're not in San Antonio, no big deal, because DEKO 37 works with clients throughout the United States and Internationally.

Full disclosure: I WAS NOT compensated for this article. Just giving a shout to a fellow Geekdom member.

Orphaned No More: Adopting AWS Lambda

Image
Background HumanGov is a Model Automated Multi-Tenant Architecture (MAMA) that is meant to be used by the 50 states for personnel tracking. Currently the architecture is fully automated on AWS. The architecture is not ready for go-live. All actions so far are for a proof-of-concept that is presented to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) for review. During the weekly team meeting, Ko (User Experience Lead) reports that his team has performed thousands of tests against the infrastructure, with moves, adds, and changes, and is not finding any issues in the application user interface. Woo (Infrastructure Lead) reports that there are hundreds of 'orphaned' files in the S3 bucket. (These files are considered 'orphaned' because they do not have corresponding records in the DynamoDB table.) Kim (Tech Lead) reports that there is not a trigger to delete the file from the bucket when a user is deleted from the DynamoDB database. Brady (Lawyer) reports that not deleting t...

Containing the Chaos! | A Three-Part Series Demonstrating the Usefulness of Containerization to HumanGov

Background HumanGov is a Model Automated Multi-Tenant Architecture (MAMA) that is meant to be used by the 50 states for personnel tracking. Currently the architecture requires Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances that are maintained by the HumanGov systems administrators. The systems administrators handle all the patching, operations, etc. Due to states wanting their data separate from each other, each state gets a separate set of EC2 instances, which means that as the application scales from one state up to 50 states, the systems administrators will have to patch 50x as many EC2 instances. The system administrators report that they have begun to schedule more and more overtime to handle the maintenance windows for updating the EC2 instances. The lead developer remarked that it was taking longer and longer for new application deployments to get rolled out as the infrastructure grew and more states came on board. By the way, the development environment does not have standa...

Ansible is the Answer! | A Three-Part Series Demonstrating the Usefulness of Ansible to HumanGov

This is a three (3) part series that demonstrates how Ansible can be useful/leveraged for configuring your infrastructure. The background story here is that HumanGov is a multi-tenant cloud application that requires that each of the fifty (50) states has its own separate infrastructure. The HumanGov Infrastructure Engineers are trying to figure out how they can get it done, and they are considering using Ansible to help them deploy the application. Part 1 sets up the base infrastructure for the scenario. The HumanGov Infrastructure Engineers are accustomed to using Terraform to efficiently deploy infrastructure, but they are not very experienced with Ansible. Part 1 of 3: HumanGov: Ansible is the Answer! | Terraform | AWS Cloud9 | AWS IAM | AWS EC2 | AWS DynamoDB | AWS S3 Part 2 attempts to setup HumanGov via a MANUAL process. Part 2 goes through the steps to MANUALLY install Python, Nginx AND application files as well as MANUALLY configuring the firewall in Ubuntu. After g...
