Or, as my "professional" email signature says, "IT expert and mixed media artificer".

Despite being a late millennial, I grew up with a ZX Spectrum and kept using an i486 as my main PC until 2008.

I have a degree in electrical engineering, majoring in industrial and microelectronics, but somehow ended up building massively distributed computer systems. I helped to roll out HTTP/2 at a Google competitor, then eventually helped to ensure that Instagram deletes the user data that users asked to delete, and until recently was a site reliability engineer for a big chunk of iCloud. I learned a lot during my long-ish career, and this knowledge makes me sad and keeps me up at night sometimes.

I never post here in a "working adult" capacity, and wouldn't dare to speak for my current or past employers. Instead, I engage in playful shitpost and creative exploration of technologies that have no commercial applications.

Feel free to DM me, I'll try to reply to all!
