Cloud technologist, jazz guitar student, and combat sports tragic living in Sydney, Australia. I currently work in security engineering for TPG Telecom.
I was a software developer for 10+ years, but always did a bit of everything:
- Desktop, mobile and web dev in numerous frameworks and languages - but most at-home with C# and Python
- "Old-school" business intelligence with the SQL Server Stack
- Sometimes I even put my infrastructure and networking hat on
I took a hard right turn into "modern" data engineering a little while ago, and it lead me to security engineering, which is my current "focus". In reality, I'm up for any technical challenge - especially when it's something my teams are struggling with and they need someone to figure new things out quickly.
My repositories are usually things I'm building while I read books or do Udemy courses, but I did do a good look into streaming data pipelines (and stringing together as many SaaS trials as possible) in a group project here.
I am always playing with technology. Here are the things I'm currently interested in:
- Cloud security, SIEM/SOAR technologies and "DevSecOps"
- Cloud and platform engineering
- Software engineering with Python and Go
