I'm passionate about technology and am always interested in expanding my knowledge. Learning is something I enjoy greatly and I strive to expand on what I already know as well as applying myself to new challenges. I'm particularly interested in Linux, web technologies and DevOps practices and am currently enjoying working with puppet, c++, azure and starting to learn splunk. In my spare time I like to make music, reading, watching films, meeting friends and watching sports.

Specialist consulting and support for the design and implementation of several Linux research and teaching solutions such as customised C, java Lean and python coding environments. A large part of my time was spent with the Space and Atmospheric Physics group. This involved supporting, installing and running multiple Linux research applications and data processing systems. Of particular note, I was heavily involved in supporting and safeguarding their NASA Cassini magnetometer data processing pipeline in the final few years of the mission to Saturn. This was a very stressful, high profile project which was delivered successfully and something for which I was recognised.
