About me

This is our world now, the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud

-- The Mentor, The Hacker Manifesto (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:

Rust - it's going to eat the world
Linux - Debian in the streets, Arch in the sheets
Synthesizers - aciiiiiiid

My personal itches that I've scratched can be found on GitHub.

Experience

My résumé can be found here but here's the tl;dr:

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 just want to say hi, send me an email - I'm happy to talk.
