Infrastructure · software · applied learning
I build technology around the people who need to use it.
I work across infrastructure, software and education, designing systems and learning environments around modern technology. My focus is making complex tools understandable, reliable and useful, so technology adapts to people rather than the other way around.
I approach problems analytically: break them down until they become clear, establish the evidence, then build iteratively with room for the problem to evolve. The result should not merely work. It should be maintainable, observable, secure and understandable to the people around it.
Software developer, Associate Professor at UCL University College, and creator of SitePuffin.

SitePuffin
A website builder designed to move non-technical users from idea to published site quickly, without removing creative control.
SitePuffin is my main current project. I own the product direction and build the platform end to end: the visual editor, application, publishing workflow and the infrastructure beneath it. The product is currently available in closed beta through invite access.

Kubelab
An on-premises education and development lab that turns cloud concepts into systems people can operate, examine and understand.
I designed and built the entire environment, including Kubernetes and Swarm clusters, runtime and backup storage, PXE-based reset workflows, monitoring and infrastructure automation. It supports research, knowledge sharing and hands-on teaching across software and web development programmes.
Kubelab also underpins a 10 ECTS DevOps course and contributes to my learning-design and platform work in the European CEDCE project.

TV 2 Danmark
DevOps engineering in a large on-premises enterprise environment where uptime, security and controlled change were operational requirements.
As part of a small specialist team, I helped automate and establish Kubernetes and Rancher infrastructure, maintained database replication and monitoring, worked with F5 BIG-IP security and load-balancer state, and built delivery, logging and monitoring flows with Ansible, Jenkins and GitHub Actions.
The role also involved phasing out legacy servers and acting as a technical bridge between teams with different responsibilities.
Database reliability
Replication, maintenance, monitoring and uptime.
Security & traffic
F5 BIG-IP WAF, load balancing and state management.
Automation & delivery
Ansible, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, logging and monitoring.
Working direction
I build systems that make complex technology useful.
Across infrastructure, software and learning, I connect technical depth with the people who need to apply it.
