Currently a business owner and DevOps/Security consultant.
Previously a CTO at a Insurance Tech startup. I get to build incredibily interesting tools for a established and rigid indistry. Linux DevOps engineer with a focus on AWS. Studying Msc in Infosec in to further my interest and passion for the subject. I love all things Python with a interest in Golang and Rust. React is pretty neat so far and getting into Ionic for work, somehow the javascript community convinced me to give it another try.
When I have the time I love to teach others tech and the possiblities of tech. Hackathons, conferences and meetups inspires me to improve exponentially and cross polinate skills with others.
Technology is a equalising force, and with the inpiration of so many open source communities, I aim to inspire more people than the projects I code. I feel all the tech knowledge and power is lost without attempting to change the world for the better.
Inspiration
Greed is exponential to the self, generosity is exponential towards the many.
