I empower teams to deliver infrastructure projects.My bread and butter is consulting with people on how to deliver their business objectives with infrastructure solutions, but I really shine when delivering large-scale technology migrations. Colleagues describe me as a force multiplier, amplifying talent in the team to achieve even higher outcomes.I'm a firm believer that most technology problems are really communications problems, so I focus on working with stakeholders to truly understand their perspectives and design systems that best meet their needs. I bridge the gap between technology and business, clearly expressing concepts and building a shared understanding of the problem.In my first tech role I volunteered to rack servers, crawling under the floors of the datacenter. The ops team got free labor; I discovered an interest that has come to define my career. In twenty plus years of experience ranging from technical support to frontend, backend, and specialised search development, I've always been a part-time sysadmin and have now found my calling in infrastructure.I prefer boring technology, value technical elegance, and include a healthy balance of pragmatism.Outside of work life I'm an expat, a runner, and a Dad.Key skills:- Technical project delivery- Cloud technologies (primarily AWS)- Infrastructure as code- Incident response- Language agnostic software development

Listed skills include Javascript, Perl, Java, Php, and 34 others.
