About me
This is our world now, the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud
-- The Mentor, The Conscience of a Hacker (1986)
I've been interested in computers ever since my dad dusted off his aging TRS-80 and plugged it into our 50kg, constantly humming, National TV... and I've been stuck here in Narnia ever since.
These days, most of my time is spent tinkering with, and reading about, things I find interesting:
- Python and Rust (they're both going to take over the world)
- Debian Linux (the only distro that will still be here in 100 years time)
- Bitcoin (along with the gamut of cryptocurrencies and "blockchain")
- Cryptography (from simple primitives, huge possibilities are achievable)
- Infosec (the world is on fire)
- Distributed Systems (no easy answers, but lots of interesting questions)
My personal itches that I've scratched can be found here on GitLab
Experience
- Backend development (from glue to creating large online services)
- Test automation (consider me an advocate if there's a budget)
- Automation in general (stop doing repetitive things manually!)
- Distributed Systems (lots of whiteboards were harmed in the process)
- Reverse Engineering (armed with lots of coffee, nothing is safe)
If you have a project and need some extra hands, have questions on things I've worked on (i.e you need support, or have found a bug), want someone to bounce off an idea with, or even just want to say hi, send me an email - I'm happy to talk.
