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.

Essentials: Core Primitives
Day One got your app running. Essentials is where Kubernetes stops being magic — Pods, Services, config, namespaces, and labels: what each object actually is, why it's built that way, and what its blast radius is on the cluster you share.
Day One: Understanding GitOps
Your platform team set up Flux and deployments work differently now — you commit to Git instead of running kubectl apply. Four lessons on the paradigm, your Flux workflow, and reading what Flux is actually doing.
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.
