About

👋 Hi! I’m Daniel and welcome to “Adventures in Tech!”.

Ever since the early 1990s, when my dad brought home an IBM PS/2 486 running Windows 3.1, I’ve had a passion for all things tech.

In 2007, after spending many years as a professional student, I decided to take my passion and use it to earn a living working in tech.

I’ve worked at software companies, MSPs, and inhouse IT departments, primarly working in Support but did work as a Data Analyst.

My path to where I am now in my career was not the typical route.

I don’t have a degree in IT or Computer Science so everything I’ve learnt has been on the job, doing the job, and developing my professional skills with any and all training opportunites that came my way.

I’ve honed my Linux skills by tinkering with endless Linux distros and all the challenges (read: headaches) that comes with it.

With a host of skills under my belt that I’ve picked up in my years of working in tech, I’ve decided to dive into learning new skills and technologies to stay relevant, be a better Support Engineer, and advance my career prospects.

So if you’ve stumbled across this little blog of mine, come follow me as I further develop my understanding of and explore the world of containerization (Docker, Podman, Kubernetes), cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), and the like.
