Hi! I used to be an engineer. I am not anymore (at least I won’t be for a while).

So if you are here to find out more before sending me a recruitment email: I am currently NOT in the market for a new Software Engineering role.

If you are here because you want to ask me about any of the things I did, getting into software, or leaving software, please get in touch :)

Once upon a time I built container runtimes and kubernetes operators and then went to conferences to stand on stage talking about building those things. I also won a “Quiet Achiever” award for my containery work… anyone who knows me will no-doubt find that hilarious.

My last role was a Software / Systems Engineer at Equinix Metal where I wrote some terrible Rust to connect to remote hosts’ BMCs.

I don’t write blogs anymore, I don’t do conference talks, but occasionally I write tutorials for newbies, or notes on things I am tinkering with.

These are the things I used to do:

  • containers
  • kubernetes
  • linux
  • bash
  • sysadmin
  • cloud computing
  • rust
  • devops
  • unix
  • golang
  • aws / gcp
  • cloud foundry paas
  • bosh
  • vim
  • ansible
  • ci / cd
  • tdd
  • pair programming
  • conference talking
  • product management
  • people management
  • mentoring / advice giving
