About

A bit about me

I'm a tech enthusiast with a passion for building and maintaining systems that just work. I enjoy working across the full stack — from low-level networking and infrastructure to writing clean application code.

I'm drawn to problems that sit at the intersection of software and infrastructure — things like containerisation, automation, and cloud architecture. I believe in building things you can actually understand and control.

Outside of work, I run a self-hosted homelab on my NAS — experimenting with Docker, container orchestration, and self-hosted services.
