Hi, I am Rob 👋

I do DevOps-y stuff, mostly with C# and Azure/Azure DevOps/GitHub. As a job I am a DevOps consultant and (GitHub) Trainer at Xpirit.
I experiment with a lot of this stuff here on GitHub, and blog about it here.
The dog in my profile photo is our Labrador named "Flynn".

Community | GDBC 🦦

I help out with the Global DevOps Bootcamp (link), mostly with automating stuff and setting up the infrastructure we need each year. In the 2019 edition we had over 10.000 attendees spread out all over the world, spending their free Saturday with our platform getting hands-on experience on DevOps topics. For the 2020 edition I've started vlogging about the relevant information/announcements/background stuff here and I have spoken about the event and platform for it several times. The session on DevOps Fest 2020 was recorded here. Find out more about my upcoming conferences on my blog.
