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
