About

I’ve been working with computers for over 25 years. To clarify, I don’t just mean things that go on your lap or under a desk, but distributed enterprise platforms and large business-critical systems. Most recently I’ve been a technical leader for cloud engineering projects, and right now I’m consulting to companies that need help with training and enablement to be successful with cloud and AI skills.

Previously I was the GCP Principal at A Cloud Guru, creating on-demand video courses on GKE, Cloud Run and Data Engineering. Before that I ran the Google Cloud Practice of a European consultancy firm where we won Google’s Breakthrough Partner of the Year. I also used to do a lot of work as a Google Developer Group organiser, speaking at events about Kubernetes and cloud-native development.

What else? A long time ago I took the One Game a Month challenge for a year. If you can get them to run, you can play a handful of my games here.

I aim to post stuff to this blog that you might find useful if you are learning to use Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, GKE or just generally developing applications for the web. I probably haven’t posted in a while. Sorry about that! This blog has moved around a few times, so if you spot any errors in any post, please let me know in the comments and I'll do my best to fix them.

Have a great day! 🖖
