Software Developer x Site Reliability

A Little
About Me

I enjoy the intricacies of coding and problem solving in the realm of software development and site reliability. Over the years, I've been part of startup journeys, crafting secure and reliable applications and ensuring they work seamlessly. I've optimized infrastructures and led initiatives for meaningful cost savings.

Now, as I seek the next step, I'm eager to bring my personal touch to innovative projects. My journey is grounded in technical know-how, a strategic mindset, and a commitment to doing things well. I aim to be a solid part of a team, contributing to its success with practical skills and genuine enthusiasm.


Passions & Interests

When I'm not engrossed in projects, you'll often catch my wonderful wife, our lively one year old daughter, and I embarking on thrilling adventures. We're currently learning the intricacies of the neighbourhood jungle gym, with the next challenge being the BIG slide. The current reception of this downward descent has been met with apprehension.

Whenever I have a moment to myself, you'll find me either savouring a fine cup of Java with a book in hand , or positioned in front of my PC, immersing myself in video games alongside friends.
