Some information about me!
More Information
Currently working as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer in Brisbane, Australia.
I started professionally in on premises managed services/consulting for creatives & mining (wierd combo, I know!). Worked for myself for quite a while supporting customers on premises until we had our Son.
I gave it up to be fulltime Dad for 5ish years, getting really into CNC machines (currently own 3d printers, lasers and embroidery machines) & then decided I could try moving back into the workforce.
After having no success applying for about 6 months, I joined the AWS Re/Start program through Goanna Education, which helped me get back into IT, leveraging my new cloud skills.
I’ve since moved on to launch into more senior roles.
Now I don’t super have much time for my crafting hobbies, but I’ve been spending my time learning more on the cloud to skill up and utilise it in the home. Currently I use it to run game servers on demand for my family and friends, as it works out cheaper just on power costs alone vs running it on premise.
