My name's Chris. I'm a native Texan but I've lived in the United Kingdom for 30 years now.

I'm a proud alumni of #TheOpenUniversity and holder of a BSc in Environmental Management and Technology that I gained mostly for fun.

In those almost 3 decades, I've worked across the entire spectrum of enterprise IT from development to operations and ending up somewhere in between.

I currently run my own limited company as a consultant (freelance) #DevOps / #platform engineer and #cloud architect and I look for contracts focussing on #kubernetes and/or #terraform.

Outside of #technology, I'm interested in #allotment #gardening, #photography with my #Canon R5, #politics, #cooking, #DIY, #travel, #nature, #druidry, #health, #gaming, #anime and #fitness

Lots of great suggestions.. tempting me to return to some old favourites.

I would add Jane Smiley, especially A Thousand Acres, a mid-west retelling of King Lear.

And Jhumpa Lahiri, an American Bengali writer I was introduced to recently while studying an Open University English Literature course.

This looks like it would suit someone with another ~0.5 FTE gig, but it does say negotiable: https://www.open.ac.uk/about/employment/vacancies/research-assistant-polifonia-20736 Working with Simon is one of the very best things I ever did; can completely recommend.

"this role will be focused on the ACCESS Pilot [...] whose aim is to explore technologically mediated ways to improve inclusion and engagement in musical activities via innovative haptic, gestural, and visual interaction."
