A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Sarah

I'm a Platform Engineer with a passion for building scalable, secure, and reliable cloud-native infrastructure.

I started my career as a helpdesk support analyst back in 2006, and over the years, I've transitioned through various roles in IT infrastructure, systems administration, and DevOps before landing in my current role - platform engineering.

This blog is where I share insights, lessons learned, and practical guides from my work with modern platform engineering tools and practices, but not forgetting the fundamentals of where my IT journey began and the value of all the experiences I've had - both good and bad! I hope you enjoy reading my posts and find them useful in whatever stage of your own IT journey you're at 🙂
