MY FAVORITE
GAME LOOP:

Senior IT Specialist turning Agile chaos into actual results. I bridge the gap between what developers build and what stakeholders think they asked for. Outside the office, I'm exploring stars in pixel spaceships, attempting to make my guitar sound less like a dying cat and occasionally touch grass. Been building computers since before it was cool. Able to sit in my chair for extended periods of time. Oh, and I have AI slaves cause that's trending now apparently.

NERDY,

AT HEART.

Hey — I'm Patrick. I've spent the last decade somewhere between product ownership and getting my hands dirty with infrastructure. Currently I'm at SSC-Services where I look after DevOps platforms, herd cloud migrations, and try to convince development teams that Agile isn't just a buzzword.

Over the last year I've been pushing hard on agentic coding — orchestrating teams of AI agents as genuine collaborators, not autocomplete. What one person can actually finish in a weekend has changed, and I'm still recalibrating my expectations upward. Most of the projects below got here faster because of it.

The stuff I'm most proud of usually happens after hours: game servers for friends, custom web dashboards for things that didn't need dashboards, and an EVE Online spreadsheet habit I'm not ready to talk about.

When I'm not staring at a terminal, I'm usually playing guitar. My taste runs the full spectrum from jazz to metal — think Coltrane one evening, Meshuggah the next. Music keeps me sane when the build pipeline doesn't.
