I originally built this site as somewhere to keep notes, a place where I could record how I solved problems or set things up, mainly so I could refer back to it later.
Over time, it has become a way to think things through by writing them down. Posting here helps me clarify ideas, and if any of it ever proves to be useful to someone else, that’s a bonus. However you have found your way here, thank you for visiting.
I have always been passionate about technology. From the time I booted my first virtual machine on VMware Workstation 1.1 to my more recent adventures in Cloud, IaC and Databases, I have stayed fascinated by what is possible, and what is coming next.
If you are looking for my professional background, there is a separate page with that information on the Professional Bio .
Outside of work, I spend time at the gym, walking outdoors and reading, especially science fiction. I also enjoy riding my motorbike as a way to switch off. From time to time, I explore home automation projects, which still appeal to my interest in how systems operate.
Most of my time away from work is spent with my wife and two daughters on the south coast.
