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.
