Hello,
I'm Nick & I live in London in the UK ๐.
I am a software reliability engineer & manager in cloud infrastructure, platforms & tools ๐ง heavily in to automation, operations, reliability & security. At any point in time my role will probably have something like Platform / Reliability / DevOps in the title. I'm also in to DX, FinOps ๐ฐ, technical product management, collaboration, improvement, leadership & many other things. Really, I have always been unavoidably interested in e2e systems & delivery & am compelled to improve value streams wherever the impact is most meaningful.
I try to continuously learn as I do believe knowledge is power ๐ฎ & details matter. Current areas of interest include service mesh, networking, multi-cloud (Azure) & custom development related to kubernetes and automation use cases.
I'm versatile & pragmatic & am good at not getting too overwhelmed ๐ with big problem spaces, decomposing work & making architectural transitions with as little disruption as feasible.
As I get older & wiser ๐ง I'm less attached to particular tools & products in general but I do like working in & around the kubernetes ecosystem โธ๏ธ๐.
I advocate for fair worker treatment & encourage a jolly ๐ , empathetic, sustainable environment.
Outside of technology I like dogs ๐๐โ๐ฆบ, health ๐ฟ๐ช, football โฝ, reading ๐ & lots of normal things ๐บ๐ธ.
Thank you for taking the time! ๐ป
Nick.
