Greetings! My name is James H. Baxter, but you can call me Jim.
I am the owner of Machine Data Insights, Inc., a company I started in 2018 to provide contract consulting services to companies using Splunk. I am a Splunk certified architect and developer, with the ultimate goal of developing skills and solutions for helping companies leverage machine learning to glean more insights and the most value possible from the data they collect in Splunk. This is a work in progress, and there is much to do yet.
You can find me on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameshbaxter/
I have written a book on architecting and administering Splunk that I use myself almost daily to remember configurations and Splunk commands:

And a book on using Wireshark – somewhat dated (Wireshark is currently at v3) but still contains a lot of useful and relevant information on packets, protocols, and how to analyze network traffic:
