Hey, I’m Sean!

I’m a site reliability engineer by day and an LED/home automation addict by night. I have a passion for clean, readable code, and well documented solutions.

I’m an open sourcerer. I believe that sharing is caring and everyone benefits greatly when we work together. Community is more important than code.

I excel at explaining complicated topics in an approachable manner, and I’m not afraid to do so in front of an audience.

I’m also a diver, a geek, a husband, and a friend.

I’m originally from Canada, but I have lived in Germany since 2010. I travel a lot and love to experience new things, both technically and culturally.
