What I do
Most of my work sits in three places, and so does most of what ends up here:
- Infrastructure — standing up and keeping the environment that everything else runs on.
- Tool development — writing the diagnostic or the automation when the vendor's version doesn't fit the problem.
- Training and documentation — writing the runbook so the next person doesn't start from zero.
What's here
Two collections. Tools are things you can run — diagnostics, migration helpers, bulk utilities, each with the reasoning behind it. Write-ups are the longer accounts of work I've done: what the environment looked like, what the plan was, and where it went sideways.
Both get published because the version of these write-ups I wanted to find, when I was in the middle of the problem, usually didn't exist. Failures stay in. A migration guide that only lists the happy path isn't much use at 2am.
Get in touch
I'm glad to hear from other infrastructure and security people — about the tools here, work you're stuck on, or anything adjacent.
