๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป About me

Thanks for checking out my profile. I'm a software engineer, human, and all-round curious person. I follow problems where they lead, love thinking laterally about risk, and value trust and kindness.

I'm proud of having built systems and cultures that have enabled startups to scale to profitability. Comfortable both at altitude and in the weeds. I seem to have a career hazard of doing my best work when I discover a system for the first time that's already on fire.

Some facts:

  • ๐Ÿก Near Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom - in the beautiful Dartmoor National Park
  • ๐Ÿ’ผ Principal Engineer in the SRE/Infra team at Ashby, the ATS company
  • ๐Ÿ’ป Past experience in fintech and healthtech (regulatory fun), also edtech - formerly at Ziglu (Principal Engineer/CTO), Doccla and Sparx; been through an acquisition
  • ๐ŸŽ“ BA + M.Eng. (Computer Science), University of Cambridge (2015) - final project Unbuckle: a high-performance, in-kernel key-value store
  • ๐Ÿ’ฌ Passionate about Implementing SRE principles at small scale (SREcon, O'Reilly)
  • ๐Ÿ” I value environments where teams ship continuously and learn from real data. Fragile systems are a choice. Teams outrun heroes.
  • ๐Ÿ˜Œ Outside work: ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ keen runner, โœˆ๏ธ avgeek, electronics tinkerer, Rust fan (working on decoding the Honeywell Galaxy serial protocol)
  • โšก๏ธ Fun facts: met His Holiness the Dalai Lama โ˜ธ๏ธ, have more takeoffs than landings in aircraft ๐Ÿช‚, self-hosted email since I was 11 for 'fun' ๐Ÿ“ฎ
