I'm not super active on Github at the moment and many of my personal pet-projects are banished to private repositories until they are mature enough to see the light of day and not scare anyone off. 🙄

I strongly believe that one of the best investments in life is an investment in your own knowledge and skills, and I always look out for opportunities to discover new things within my role and outside it.

I'm always happy to have a conversation and share my views, however, please read the obligatory disclaimer below. 👇

Disclaimer: all personal and professional views here are my own and do not reflect views of my current or any previous employers. All information shared is derived from publicly available sources or constitutes my personal opinion.

Still with me? Great, happy to see you here and let this day be kind to you!

I am passionate about exploring core concepts and building prototypes using data analysis, creative coding and visualization techniques in order to present best practices in a structured and accessible way.

• A few years ago I discovered Site Reliability Engineering and decided to move to an SRE role which was a natural choice given that I enjoy working with systems metrics, reliability, capacity and performance characteristics.
• Prior to that I had been a Software Developer working on backend services (Java, Perl, Go), bespoke data-processing pipelines and distributed infrastructure at scale.
• Most of my career I've been working at large size companies which usually provide sufficient stability, management processes, transparency and resources.
• I prefer to work from home, but enjoy hallway conversations and getting to know my coworkers.
• My ideal work week would have 2 days in the office, and 3 days working from home or a coworking space.

• Systems Engineering
• Metrics and Data Analysis
• Machine Learning (well, everyone's interested in that 🤷‍♂️)
• Statistics (traditional and Bayesian)
• Capacity Planning
• Performance and Efficiency
• Data Visualization
• Knowledge Sharing

I am currently based in London, UK which I really like for its mild weather, green spaces and architecture. I have no plans to move anywhere else at the moment.

From time to time I travel to the US and EU and I'm always interested in exploring new places and meeting people.

I am available via LinkedIn, email, text messages and Twitter at all times.

Response SLO:

• Latency:
  • P95: within one day of receipt if time-sensitive.
  • Best-effort otherwise.
• Availability:
  • P90: for all of the above communication channels
  • Best-effort otherwise.

Always feel free to write to me if you need something and I have given you my email or IM/number.

Recruiters: 👋
First of all, thank you for your attention! When sending email, please make sure you use the right address - my primary email has changed since a while ago and I won't see your messages if sent incorrectly.

If unsure, please use LinkedIn which is always the best option.

The only way to scale progress and bring more value to existing business processes is in consistent measuring, automation and analytics. Every decision should be data-driven.

Docs, articles, tutorials and howto guides are a developer's first impression of your product and every day interaction with it. You should be able to explain to people at whatever level they are how your product works and how they can start using it quickly and efficiently.

I always support and encourage people to the best of my ability. Sometimes these influences change lives and occasionally I get to find out how.
