Me

I’m currently with AND Digital, working with organisations to deliver amazing software and help them upskill in DevOps, Agile and cloud computing. Some recent clients include Nationwide Building Society, Picnic and IAGLoyalty. I used to work for Cirium as an SRE where I maintained Kubernetes platforms and generally kept the office lights on.

Over the years I’ve built everything from networking libraries for multiplayer games (ever played Among Us?) to turbulence tracking apps used in the cockpits of hundreds of planes.

I’ve also had success as an entrepreneur and in 2022 Unordinal acquired my long standing side hustle, DarkRift Networking.
