Hello,

I'm Nick & I live in London in the UK 🌇.

I am a software reliability engineer & manager in cloud infrastructure, platforms & tools 🔧 heavily into automation, operations, reliability & security. At any point in time my role will probably have something like Platform / Reliability / DevOps in the title. I'm also in to DX, FinOps 💰, technical product management, collaboration, improvement, leadership & many other things. Really, I have always been unavoidably interested in e2e delivery & am compelled to improve value streams wherever the impact is most meaningful.

I try to continuously learn as I do believe knowledge is power 🔮 & details matter. My current learning plan involves service mesh, networking & multi-cloud. My intention is to soon double down on custom development ✨ & knowledge sharing 📯.

I'm versatile & pragmatic & am good at not getting too overwhelmed 🌀 with big problem spaces, decomposing work & making architectural transitions with as little disruption as feasible.

As I get older & wiser 🧙 I'm less attached to particular tools & products in general but I do like working in & around the kubernetes ecosystem ☸️🌍.

I advocate for fair worker treatment & encourage a jolly 🎅, empathetic environment. High-performance does not need to be unkind!

Outside of technology I like dogs 🐕🐕‍🦺, health 🌿💪, football ⚽, reading 📜 & lots of normal things 📺🍸.

Thank you for taking the time! 🍻
Nick.
