Hi, I'm Rob.
I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer working remotely from mid-Wales. I spend my days automating infrastructure, building deployment pipelines, and trying to make things run smoothly for teams delivering software in the public sector.
I'm currently studying for an Advanced Software Engineering degree alongside work, and I write Rust in my spare time — mostly building tools that scratch an itch, like ragent, a local-only agentic AI framework.
This blog is where I write about engineering culture, remote working, learning, and the occasional technical deep-dive. The older posts are from earlier in my career when I was figuring out what it meant to move from operations management into hands-on engineering. The newer ones reflect where I am now.
