Hi, I’m Andy! 👋

I’m a Cloud Engineer, general nerd and chaotic neutral. I’m passionate about learning, developing my skills and working on cool stuff! When I’m not working, you can find me distro-hopping, working on my homelab, or playing Fallout 4 on my SteamDeck.

⚡ Fun facts

💼 Work

As of October 2022, I’m doing cloudy things (technical term) over at the recently rebranded OneAdvanced ☁️

⛵️ Interests

After realising that my interests align with my work life, I got into homelabbing, and have since put together a small plethora of devices in a rack; Some of them are running K3s. In my spare time I’m learning more about infrastrucure and building out applications.

This site is running on my homelab.

🛠️ Projects

I’ve been working on building some of my frequently used tools out into rust binaries, throwing together custom docker images, and building out my lab.

I also recently built the best/worst thing I’ve ever created: Testpage, and an accompanying Errorpage

📚 Books

This year I’ve read 3 books, and I’m working on a 4th.

⚡Fun

I’m learning Colemak! My WPM has only suffered majorly
