CV
LinkedIn is probably a better view of my work background and what my roles have involved.
This is more of a historical list of all the technolgies I’ve worked with, there are a lot of them. Far too many to list on a CV.

Technologies
Over the years, I’ve used hundreds (maybe thousands, if we include major releases :-)) of different pieces of open-source and commercial technology.
Whether that’s configuring, deploying, testing, and operating in a hands-on capacity. Or designing solutions gluing together and integrating multiple components. Or assessing organisational impact of a new technology across a team or a business.
This is an attempt to capture this more comprehensively than would reasonably fit on a CV.
