I'm a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer working in travel tech and based in Dublin, Ireland ☘️
I'm currently working on an internal developer platform (IDP) that helps dev teams iterate quickly, deploy even quicker,
and get fast feedback when if it goes wrong. It's built with Kubernetes, AWS, Argo CD, Datadog,
GitHub Actions, and lots of other fun cloudy bits. It's all brought together with Terraform/OpenTofu and relentless
CI/CD to form a self-service GitOps platform. Our devs love it, and that's pretty neat.
Outside of work, I develop an open source Android app for Luas, Dublin's light rail system 🚊 called Luas at a Glance (naming things was never my strong suit).
When not doing something techy, I have a passion for flying fake airplanes flight simulation, particularly airliner
operations. I have a cobbled-together home cockpit based around the Airbus A320, and enjoy simulating real-world airline
operations: boarding passengers, loading fuel, scrutinising flight plans, dealing with systems failures, and ensuring
on-time departures for a fictional airline. Because it's... fun, I guess!
