I’ve been in the IT trenches for over 20 years, but it all started back in 1993 with Turbo Pascal on a 286 AT for a primary school project. Luckily, I eventually upgraded to a 486 DX2, which finally let me run Doom and Heroes of Might and Magic :D.

For the last 4 years, I’ve been a Product Architect at Dynatrace, where I focus on making AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud observability signals actually work for people, not against them.

Outside of work and family, I’m all about "home-keeping" – managing both the physical systems in my garden and the digital ones powered by Home Assistant. If there’s any time left: I’m traveling. The further, the better. :)
