With 25+ years of IT expertise I've spent many days racking and stacking servers and networking gear, I was there virtualising all of those physical servers and then I spent my days managing and working on projects where those same datacentres that I lovingly built were migrated to the era of cloud and DevOps. It's been a wild ride and I can't wait to see what comes next. One of my biggest passions is diversity advocacy, particularly fostering unconventional pathways into the industry.
