About

A photo of a bearded idiot, also known as Andy Smith.

I’m a 40-something nerd originally from Doncaster in the north of England, now living in the shadow of the Canadian Rockies in Calgary, Alberta.

I’ve spent over two decades in the IT industry across networking, security and systems administration roles and I’m currently a Senior Site Reliability Engineer managing networking and other low-level cloud computing infrastructure.

I hold amateur radio licenses in both Canada (as VE6LY and VE6CXZ) and the UK (as M0VKG).
