Hi there

  • 🔭  I’m James, a Developer come DevOps "Engineer" with over 8 years experience in the Tech Industry!

    • Previously, a lead q/kdb+ engineer within the financial services industry who specialised in High-Frequency Data.
    • Many years ago, I fell into the domain of DevOps and ... fell in love with it!
    • I like to see DevOps as a hat that a developer can wear while working on certain types of problems.
    • I enjoy using my brain to think out of the box to solve problems without using the same cooking receipt for everything.
