Kubernetes Platform LeadPlatform Strategist
I've worked through IT from application admin to infrastructure lead, DevOps engineer, and now Kubernetes platform lead — the kind of path where you learn because production is on fire, not because someone wrote a curriculum. I build things, run my own infrastructure, and write technical content for engineers who need something working, not just studied.

Day One: From Scratch
You have cluster access. Your app isn't running yet. Four lessons from your first kubectl command to actually understanding what happens when you deploy — not just commands that work for now.
Languages & Parsing
You use regex. You've debugged parsers. But can you explain why your pattern matches? Four lessons on the formal theory behind every language tool you reach for — FSMs, regex, parsers, compilers.
Day One: Python for Platform Engineers
Bash got you this far. Nine task-first guides for platform engineers who need Python for the work bash doesn't scale to — health checks, log parsing, config comparison, fleet operations.
Hobbies
Not everything is infrastructure. What happens when the workday ends.
SxS Adventures
Riding trails across Nova Scotia and tracking every run — GPS routes, elevation profiles, and photos from behind the wheel. Self-hosted because of course it is.
Exploring Electronics
A software engineer learning hardware the hard way — MicroPython, microcontrollers, and circuits that almost work. Very early. Very personal. No pretense of expertise.
