About

Background

I am based in Perth, Western Australia, where I work as a B737 airline pilot and spend a disproportionate amount of my spare time thinking about infrastructure, procedures, and how complex systems behave when they are under stress.

A few useful anchors

The common thread across most of what I do is an interest in disciplined systems, operational clarity, and understanding how things fail as much as how they work.

Professional context

My day job is airline flying, with the usual mix of line operations, IFR procedures, recurrent simulator training, roster bidding, and the kind of procedural decision-making where details matter.

How I tend to think

I am drawn to systems that reward clear reasoning: checklists, infrastructure, networks, mail, PKI, automation, troubleshooting, and the edge cases that reveal what a design is really doing.

Outside work

Outside work I spend a lot of time on self-hosting, fitness, motorsport, and periodic deep dives into whatever technical problem has captured my attention.
