Welcome to a slice of the cloud with a side of circuitry and a pint-sized garnish of wisdom. Our mastermind, a career technologist with the ingenuity of a microprocessor whiz at the tender age of 12, offers a website that’s as eclectic as the buzzing inside a 555 IC. Raised on the green pastures of Ireland, where summers weren’t just about the ‘craic’ but also about brick and mortar in the UK – let’s call it the original ‘site reliability engineering’.

Fusing the art of building, be it tech or terraces, with the finesse of pulling the perfect pint (a skill just as crucial as coding, if not more), this is your gateway to decades of globe-trotting tales. From the hills of Donegal to the bustling streets of San Francisco, our protagonist has left footprints in the server rooms and local pubs alike, crafting a career that’s as robust as a well-poured stout.

But it’s not all hops and hardware. The last two decades have been an odyssey through the evolving realms of security and automation, against the backdrop of a cloud-adorned horizon. This website? It’s more than just a blog. It’s a treasure trove of “crib sheets,” the distilled essence of years of training, deploying, and having a chinwag with folks about the nuts and bolts (and the ones and zeros) of tech stacks pre and post the cumulus boom.

Whether you’re here to learn, reminisce, or simply for a good yarn, each post is a tap into a keg of knowledge, poured with the same care as that impeccable pint of Guinness. So, pull up a stool and let’s toast to shared notes, environmental consciousness (carbon footprints are out, digital footprints are in), and the people skills honed on both barstools and boardrooms. Sláinte to serendipitous learning and the serenity of a well-documented script!
