The GNU/Linux operating system has been an interest of mine for a long while now, and it's an operating system that I would encourage anyone who uses a computer on a regular basis to explore and learn. I've also run a home server in the past which served as a media server, a multi-user file server, a web server, a mumble (voice comms) server, and technically an email server, though BT don't allow consumer broadband packages to host mail servers so I wasn't able to keep that one going.
Useful packages I am familiar with:
I have experience managing Windows and Android devices for a large (>10,000 devices each) company. This includes creating build profiles, packaging software and using windows Task Scheduler with custom powershell scripts.
MDM Platforms I have experience with:
I've been interested in programming computers since I was around 13, though I made little progress to begin with as I had no formal education in computing and no one to answer my questions. In recent years I've worked on a few of my own programs, the main one being ntl, an interpreter and compiler for my own note-taking language which takes a minimal text file with a few commands and compiles a formatted pdf document. The project is unfinished but I learned a great deal about regex and working with other peoples' libraries. It's worth noting this program won't compile in its current state, due to major changes to its dependencies.
Languages I've used:
Since entering the world of enterprise software I've spent a lot of time becoming familiar with cloud computing platforms and how to use them effectively. My main focus has been on AWS since it's the platform my current employer favours, and I have the Solution Architect Associate certification.
As mentioned on my home page, I've grown up on a farm and as a result I have experience handling sheep and cattle, and driving tractors.
I have also worked jobs in:
I play the bagpipes, guitar and mandolin. I haven't finished writing any music to a standard that I'm happy to release yet but when I do I'll have links to everything on this website. I used to play in a band called PLUM when I was younger, videos of PLUM can be found here.
In terms of studio work I mostly use Ableton Live at the moment, but I'm exploring different options and trying to put together a workflow using only free (frei) software. If I get to the stage where I'm happy with this project I'll have a page on here about it and probably make a video talking about it.
