Hello
Welcome! This space is dedicated to sharing insights, knowledge, and practical advice on a couple of topics I personally find interesting and wish to share with others. Whether you are a seasoned pro or just getting started, hopefully you’ll be able to find at least one thing valuable here.
My hope for this blog is for it to serve as an educational and informational resource, focusing on areas such as Engineering Management, Cloud Engineering, DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering. The aim is to provide you with clear, concise, and actionable insights that you can apply to your own work.
Points of interest
The topics I’ll write on are my main focus in my day-to-day work, the topics I provide mentorship on, the topics I attend meetups on, discuss with others, etc so naturally they will be my focus. Within these top-level topics we’ll also delve deeper into more sub-topics such as security, infrastructure-as-code, data engineering, career development, mentorship, etc.
The nuts and bolts
For what it’s worth, this website is statically built from Hugo with the PaperMod theme (although with some small modifications). It hasn’t always been this way, this blog has lived on in some form or another for over 10 years! I’ve converted it between wordpress, drupal, plain text, markdown, I’ve used my own static site generator, etc many times over the years and you can see remnants of this when you find a post that has an odd date stamp or something along those lines. In fact, most of my blog right now is a series of unpublished markdown files in a private git repo that for some reason or another I decided against republishing. If you come across a disconnect relating to this fact, my sincerest apologies!
Blog posts use Giscus for comments, so you will need to be logged into GitHub to participate in discussions. Finally, the site is deployed using Cloudflare Pages, it’s a great product and super easy to work, it really makes this blog easy enough to deploy to warrant the effort.
If you’re looking to browse through past articles, you can visit the categories page, which consolidates posts under respective topics, and just select a topic that interests you. An RSS feed is also available for those who prefer keeping up with new posts through a feed reader, although that may be a little bit pointless since I expect I’ll probably be posting less than occasionally.
If you’re interested in discovering other content that I find valuable, check out the blogroll, which I try to keep updated with other interesting blogs I’ve found.
Goodbye
