These days, I’m a DevOps Engineer at Gluwa Technology — the folks behind Creditcoin & Spacecoin (and other things). I spend most of my time making sure things don’t catch fire (and if they do, I automate the water hoses).

Before joining Gluwa, I was the president of both The Kraken Web Company Inc. and Powered Software Inc.. Both companies are now closed — not a tragic ending, just the next chapter in my career.

• Build and break things in the cloud
• Automate repetitive tasks so humans don’t have to
• Design resilient systems that (hopefully) don’t wake me up at 3 AM

I’ve been at this for two decades now, starting as a backend developer and consultant. Along the way, I’ve worked with:

• PHP: Laravel, Symfony, CakePHP, WordPress, …
• JavaScript / Node.js: NestJS, Angular, React, Vanilla JS, NextJS, ExpressJS, …
• .NET: ASP.NET Core (APIs, MVC, Blazor), Entity Framework, …
• Scripting, Automation & IaC: Python, Bash, PowerShell, Bicep, Kustomize, Helm, Terraform, Ansible
• DevOps Tooling: Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, Azure Pipelines, Octopus Deploy, Vagrant

Technology keeps changing, and I’ve learned to enjoy chasing the wave instead of fighting it.
