Welcome to my site!

Welcome, and thank you for stopping by! Please enjoy my site. My aim is to bring you a range of content covering life and working in tech through my blog as well as a knowledge base of my collected learnings and experiences as an IT engineer covering DevOps, System Administration, Technical Support skills, and general IT/tech as well as anything else I come across.

Browse the site, enjoy what you find, and please do get in touch with any thoughts, ideas or discussions. I'm most active on LinkedIn and X / Twitter but you can reach me in a range of other places too; see my social links for details.
