Interests

Apart from being a Systems Administrator, I enjoy most of my free time being away from the keyboard, whether that’s lifting weights at the gym, honing my skills in Japanese carpentry, or growing a sustainable backyard garden. Getting away from the keyboard allows me to refocus and come back to work with creative solutions to everyday technical problems.
