Intro

Hey, I’m Patrick. I’m a technology professional specialising in cloud infrastructure engineering and consulting. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve seen and experienced the significant shift from on-prem to public cloud and now the introduction of AI into basically everything.

What I share here is mostly content that I think would be insightful and assist those who would like to know more about something which I have expertise in.

What are you passionate about?

Technology, its capabilities and sharing my thoughts/ideas. I love being able to have lengthy conversations about my experiences, learning about advancements, teaching others and sharing ideas. Tech is my forte. It’s something that has been with me ever since I was a young boy growing up in the 90s when the internet was something you accessed via a dial-up modem and got a 56k connection. Yes, queue that infamous dial-up modem sound ๐Ÿ”‰

What am I going to see here?

I really just want to carve out a space that allows me to interact with a wider audience for the purposes of:

  • Education
  • Ideas sharing
  • Knowledge transfer
  • Upskilling

Having experienced IT and tech the way that I did, I was able to get a look at what it was like when we ran most of our server environments in an on-premise setting. Now that cloud is much more prevalent, those on-premise experiences translate to how we do it in the cloud, even though those fundamental technologies still exist under the hood. Whilst they are obstructed, they are still important to learn and understand. This may end up being a two-way street. I’d love to learn more from you as well if we share a common interest!

Where are you working?

As of May 2026, I am working as a Senior Cloud Engineer for Insignia Financial. I decided it was time to leave consulting to pursue an internal gig to challenge myself technically. While consulting offered this, it didn’t offer it the way I wanted. Let’s see where this next role takes me!

Is there anyway to support your work?

Yes! Blogging is a passion project of mine that I do when I get ideas. If it gets solid traction, and I’m able to dedicate more time to it, I’d love to produce more content. If you’d like to contribute to that journey, feel free:
