About

I'm someone who enjoys figuring things out and learning along the way. I like working with people and doing my part to keep things running smoothly.

When I'm not working, I keep busy with a mix of hobbies — playing guitar, football and videogames, riding my motorcycle, hanging out with my cat, and hitting the gym to relax and recharge. I'm a big football fan, and even coached a U10/11 academy team.

Professionally, I love the IT world — specifically the DevOps / Infrastructure side — because it lets me do what I enjoy most: automating and organising things.
