Hey, I'm Richard!👋

A proactive and constantly curious techie who enjoys fiddling with code and writing stories.

I have always been a bold and diligent fellow who loves to create progressive change and shake things up. I spent some time as a physics major, traveler, and bartender before I ended up in IT.

Currently, I'm developing infrastructure for cloud-native applications in the telecommunications industry. I'm kind of a jack of all trades, usually involved in all parts of the development lifecycle. I also do/did some web development as a side hustle.

Here are some keywords that describe what I do:

python, bash, javascript, typescript, react, groovy, erlang, java, perl, apache ant, bazel, make, cmake, CI, CD, API, aws, jenkins, pipeline, job-dsl, spinnaker, ansible, kubernetes, helm, docker, woodwork, masonry, printer support, dog whispering, fantasy writing, hotel catering, dnd dm duty, cigar connoisseur, etc.

I used to have a flashier website but now that I mostly do DevOps I realized there's no need for me to jump hoops in javascript and css. I always appreciated simplicity. ✨
