I'm a Cloud Native engineer and a mentor at the School of Code. I'm based in the beautiful county of Shropshire in the English Midlands.
I'm a comedy nerd who once got a thumbs up from Barry Cryer. I've also recorded at Abbey Road Studios and have a number 9 chart hit with John Otway (and 900 others). I keep bees, love being outside in my garden and enjoy tinkering in my workshop.
I keep an infrequent blog where I talk all things software engineering and developer culture.
- Cloud Native
- IoT
- Open Source
- Things that you're passionate about and need some help
- Mentoring new engineers
I've spoken at DevOpsDays, Cloud Native Rejekts, KubeHuddle and KubeCon. I'm always open to other speaking opportunities - please contact me if you would like me to speak at your event.
- Cloud development environments
- Beekeeping
- Cloud Native computing
I once did standup comedy. And didn't die.
