👋 Hi there! I'm Michael 🇿🇦

From a young age, my insatiable curiosity and innate passion for engineering led me to embark on a lifelong mission of exploration... one dismantled device at a time.

I didn't choose to be an engineer, it's just who I am.

I'm the kind of guy who doesn't just admire technology from afar, but I thrive on getting up close and personal. Taking apart machines, gadgets, and gizmos to understand their inner workings.

Thinking outside the box is my default setting.

Occupation: Software engineer / Dev Ops

I get computers, and they get me. Whether it's something trivial like injecting some custom css to fix someones webpage not displaying correctly for me, or using UART on my smart devices to upload some better firmware, it's all within my comfort zone.

And if it isn't, well I'm taking the time to learn.

Responsibilities:

  • Guarantee continuous system availability and uptime.
  • Economically manage cloud infrastructure expenses.
  • Lead efforts to replace outdated solutions.
  • Maintain system security effectively.
  • Perform critical technology stack upgrades.
  • Enhance developer productivity and workflow through advanced tooling.
  • Provide expert guidance and support to fellow engineers in resolving intricate technical challenges.

🎲 Hobbies

🏫 Always learning some new language. Currently teaching myself Zig

🚂 Designing and 3D printing replacement parts for all kinds stuff.

🔉 Busy designing and prototyping my own whole home audio system.

🔨 Always busy with some form of automation of some repettative task.

📉 I dabble in the Crypto space. Have not reached the moon (yet)

👾 Not as much as I used to, but I do enjoy a good gaming session

👑 I play at least 1 game of chess a day
