$ ./focus.sh

[INFO]: HA/DR- Production infrastructure designed to withstand failures and recover when the unexpected happens.

[INFO]: Vigilant production engineering- Runbooks, standardised change procedures, and methodical incident troubleshooting.

[INFO]: Automated operations- Less repetitive work, fewer opportunities for human error, and consistent execution.

[INFO]: Reliable development platforms- A dependable foundation that lets developers focus on delivering business logic.

[INFO]: Internal tooling- Tools that reduce development effort and make production changes repeatable, traceable, and easier to troubleshoot.

[INFO]: AI-assisted development and automation- Finding practical ways to reduce manual effort while keeping engineering judgement in the loop.

[INFO]: Self-motivated in how I work. Collaborative in how we deliver.

$ ./current_priorities.sh

[INFO]: Supporting the move from legacy monoliths to maintainable microservices running on Kubernetes.

[INFO]: Making observability useful- Prometheus, Grafana, and telemetry that help explain what is happening, without burying the team in alert fatigue.

[INFO]: Worked out an LLM agent with Glean AI, and Power Automate for incident and issue tracking.

[INFO]: Making development easier through automated tooling and reliable platform builds.

[INFO]: Learn, unlearn, relearn. AI is changing how we build and operate software; Understanding what deserves to change with it is pivotal.
