How I work
I'm known for lateral thinking and pattern recognition - especially when systems are under pressure, or when old infrastructure needs to meet new requirements.
Despite many years on the command-line, I have a background in creative writing and can document work and talk through problems clearly, for both technical and non-technical audiences.
"If it involves Linux servers, deployment, monitoring, security, or automation - especially when you're short on in-house time or specialist depth - it's my bread and butter."
Values
- Pragmatism: ship improvements that reduce risk quickly, in small steps rather than big rewrites.
- Transparency: changes are reviewable, documented, and explainable.
- Privacy: a bias toward open standards and minimizing unnecessary data exposure.
