Ethical Note

Sponsored content will always be marked as such. I will never promote a product that I don’t believe helps folks do their job better. If there are open source or free alternatives to paid/sponsored content, I will do my best to call them out as options. That way engineers can choose whether to invest in a new (often paid) product vs sticking with open source (free as in speech and beer) options.

Readers trust in me is important, and if you feel I’ve fallen short please let me know!

About Me

I reach around 5k follows across various channels, including this site, Medium, LinkedIn, and YouTube. These followers are often engineers who are empowered to choose the best tools for the job, and often have a vote in which large-scale enterprise technology is implemented at their businesses.

I’m a huge fan of CI/CD stuff and developer tools. I’m in the expert range in GitHub, automation, networking, some parts of DevOps, and some parts of cryptography, as well as a smattering of other topics I find fascinating in the technology space.

My style is heavily focused on demos and real use cases for operational engineers to take tools and run with them. Engineers love it, and can make the case for managers to buy the products. I’m also a very strong proponent of empathetic, human-driven processes and tools. If there are tools which help save time, and which are easy for engineers to operate, particularly if they have a freemium style model where engineers can get their hands dirty and play with them, I’d love to speak out enthusiastically for the product.
