I look after the parts of a system that are nobody's feature: the clusters, the pipelines that build things, the reason a deploy at four in the afternoon is not frightening. I came into it sideways from a support desk, which I think made me better at the job than a straight route would have, because I spent two years watching what actually breaks. Most of what I do is deletion — old environments, unused services, three ways of doing a thing reduced to one. I am not especially interested in new platforms and I am very interested in whether the on-call phone rings. Outside work I run a small game server for friends and have spent more time automating it than playing on it.
