I'm an engineer working my way from fundamentals to a DevSecOps career. Everything I learn lands here as notes, homelab experiments, and honest write-ups — including the stuff that didn't work the first time.
This page updates roughly monthly. Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page idea.
I'm Alex — UK-based, working through a deliberate two-year plan to move into DevSecOps. The focus: Kubernetes, AWS, and the security layer that sits across both.
My approach is simple: rebuild things from first principles, homelab everything, and write about what surprised me. I'd rather post a rough note I actually understand than a polished article I half-copied.
Not a badge collection — each cert comes with a public project that proves I actually use the material.
Small, focused homelab projects — Kubernetes, AWS, networks, telephony, security. Each one is something I built, broke, and explained on video.
Happy to hear from other engineers learning the same things, people working in DevSecOps who'd share a coffee/call, or anyone who spots something wrong in a post. Freelance enquiries: see consulting.
