About

I keep critical systems running and build the tooling that makes them easier to run. My work sits where operations meets engineering wether it's watching batch workflows overnight, chasing down incidents, and then writing the scripts and services that stop the same problem from happening twice.

Outside of production support, I’m pursuing a BSc in Information Technology, specialising in Software Engineering, while building and experimenting with my own self-hosted homelab. I enjoy working with containers, reverse proxies, and Linux servers, with a focus on clean, modular architecture, reliable automation, and software that quietly does its job.
