I'm a Cloud Native engineer and a mentor at the School of Code. I'm based in the beautiful county of Shropshire in the English Midlands.

I'm a comedy nerd who once got a thumbs up from Barry Cryer. I've also recorded at Abbey Road Studios and have a number 9 chart hit with John Otway (and 900 others). I keep bees, love being outside in my garden and enjoy tinkering in my workshop.

I keep an infrequent blog where I talk all things software engineering and developer culture.

• Cloud Native
• IoT
• Open Source
• Things that you're passionate about and need some help
• Mentoring new engineers

I've spoken at DevOpsDays, Cloud Native Rejekts, KubeHuddle and KubeCon. I'm always open to other speaking opportunities - please contact me if you would like me to speak at your event.

• Cloud development environments
• Beekeeping
• Cloud Native computing

I once did standup comedy. And didn't die.
