About Me

I'm a technology professional based in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal, Ireland with over two decades of experience spanning enterprise software development, DevOps engineering, and infrastructure management.

I started my career as a programmer in the Philippines before moving into consulting roles across the Asia-Pacific region and then transitioning to Ireland where I spent many years at Pramerica Services as a Technical Specialist, leading the migration of legacy Lotus Notes applications to modern platforms like ServiceNow and SharePoint.

Today I work at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Ireland, embedded within a Jaguar Land Rover SDLC team, where I design and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines and manage GCP cloud infrastructure. I'm passionate about automation, reliability engineering, and self-hosted infrastructure — I run a full home lab stack at home on bare-metal Linux servers.
