With over 15 years of software development experience and 10 years of public speaking. I'm active across a number of open source communities and this site shared my experiences.
Hello 馃憢, I'm a Cloud Advocate for Microsoft based in Sydney. My area of specialty is .NET web development, focusing on the intersection of .NET and JavaScript applications.
Dependabot is great at telling me what needs updating, but less great at helping me understand the queue. So I built a canvas for the Copilot app to help with that.
I decided to add a trackball attachment to my keyboard and here's my thoughts after a week of use.
The 18.06 and 19.07 hops carried the SPI fix forward, exposed two false-success flash paths, and found a new rootfs split panic before the 21.02 kernel boundary.
The first incremental OpenWrt hop exposed a real SPI registration break, but only after a diagnostic image made the otherwise opaque failure observable.
The first OpenWrt upgrade jumped a decade in one shot. It built, flashed and booted, but left the Tessel bridge invisible and taught me to value observable experiments over bigger patches.
The Tessel 2 still worked, but its OpenWrt base was a decade old. Before touching the image I had to decide whether upgrading was worth the risk.
No upcoming talks. 馃槩
I have a number of talks and workshops that I can give, or I can create something specific for your event. Check out the link below for my talk history and full bio.
