Familiarity with HAProxy in order to redirect requests to various LANs.

Wrote an upstart service in Node JS / Python to utilize the boto module to get R53 records by hosted zone, lookup their respective ELBs and the instances they point to, and return the content as a nicely outputted table in HTML for various persons to view currently running EC2 instances that are in use by various teams.
