Hey, I'm a Software Engineer who first began working for Puppet as a Graduate in 2016. Since then, I have worked for several different teams within Puppet and later Perforce, the majority of which were working with Open-Source content. I now work within the Developer Experience or DevX team, with his main focus being the maintenance and expansion of the PDK

Outside of work I have been an avid reader and gamer for most of my life and in more recent times to take better care of myself, I have begun attending a local powerlifting gym regularly throughout the week, while spending the weekends either cycling around the area where I live or taking long hikes through local nature preserves depending on the weather.
