Hi, I'm Andrew 👋
I build dependable systems and the teams behind them.
I'm an engineering manager specialising in developer infrastructure and distributed systems.
About me
I enjoy turning ambiguous infrastructure problems into systems people can rely on. My work spans architecture, production debugging, security and engineering leadership; I am happiest staying close to both the technology and the people building it.
Away from work, I am interested in reverse engineering, electronics and mechanical projects. This site is also a quiet home for occasional writing from the archive.
